Appeal from Erath County.

OPINION
This is an appeal from an order denying Russell Lee Hadley's motion for forensic DNA testing pursuant to TEX. CODE CRIM. PRO. ANN. art. 64.01 et seq. (Vernon Pamph. Supp. 2004-2005). Appellant was originally convicted, upon his plea of guilty, of aggravated sexual assault of a child. We affirm. Appellant's court-appointed counsel has filed a motion to withdraw. The motion is supported by a brief in which counsel professionally and conscientiously examines the record and applicable law and states that he has concluded that the appeal is frivolous. Counsel has provided appellant with a copy of the brief and advised appellant of his right to review the record and file a response to counsel's brief. Appellant has not filed a pro se response. Court-appointed counsel has complied with the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967); Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503 (Tex.Cr.App. 1991); High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex.Cr.App. 1978); Currie v. State, 516 S.W.2d 684 (Tex.Cr.App. 1974); Gainous v. State, 436 S.W.2d 137 (Tex.Cr.App. 1969); Eaden v. State, No. 11-03-00405-CR, 2005 WL 309558 (Tex.App.-Eastland, February 10, 2005, no pet'n) (not yet reported). Following the procedures outlined in Anders, we have independently reviewed the record, and we agree that the appeal is without merit. The record reflects that appellant admitted penetrating the child's anus with his finger and that identity was not an issue. Article 64.03(a). The motion to withdraw is granted, and the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
