MEMORANDUM OPINION
Rodney Lynn Gillespie was convicted of criminal mischief in the amount of more than $20,000 but less than $100,000 and sentenced to confinement in prison for ten years. His court-appointed attorney filed a brief concluding that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), by presenting a professional evaluation of the record demonstrating why there are no arguable grounds to be advanced. See also Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988); High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex.Crim.App. 1978); Currie v. State, 516 S.W.2d 684 (Tex.Crim.App. 1974); Jackson v. State, 485 S.W.2d 553 (Tex.Crim.App. 1972); Gainous v. State, 436 S.W.2d 137 (Tex.Crim.App. 1969). Gillespie's counsel certified that he sent Gillespie a copy of counsel's brief by certified mail, return receipt requested, and advised Gillespie of his right to examine the appellate record and to file a pro se brief. Gillespie has not filed a response. We have reviewed the record and counsel's brief. We agree that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. We find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeal. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 826-27 (Tex.Crim.App. 2005). The judgment of conviction is affirmed. Counsel's motion to withdraw is granted.
