On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 1, Dallas County, Texas, Trial Court Cause No. F08-72098-H.

Before Justices RICHTER, LANG-MIERS, and MYERS.


MEMORANDUM OPINION


Ricky Franklin appeals following his conviction for aggravated sexual assault of a child. He was sentenced to ten years in prison and a $1,000 fine. On appeal, appellant's attorney has filed a brief in support of a motion to withdraw in which he concludes there is no issue that can be supported by the record. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). The brief presents a professional evaluation of the record showing there are no arguable grounds to advance. See High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 811 (Tex. Crim. App. [Panel Op.] 1978). Counsel delivered a copy of the brief to appellant. We advised appellant of his right to file a pro se response; however, he did not file a pro se response. We have reviewed the record and counsel's brief. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005). We find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeal. We therefore conclude the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit. We grant appellate counsel's motion to withdraw and affirm the trial court's judgment.
