MEMORANDUM DECISION
VÁSQUEZ, CHIEF JUDGE
¶1 Following a jury trial, appellant David Carrasco was convicted of weapons misconduct. The trial court sentenced him to an enhanced prison term of eight years. Counsel has filed a brief in compliance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and State v. Clark, 196 Ariz. 530 (App. 1999), stating she has reviewed the record and has found no "meritorious issue to raise on appeal." Counsel has asked us to search the record for fundamental error. Carrasco has not filed a supplemental brief.
¶2 Viewed in the light most favorable to sustaining the verdict, see State v. Delgado, 232 Ariz. 182, ¶ 2 (App. 2013), the evidence was sufficient to support the jury's finding of guilt, see A.R.S. §§ 13-3101(A)(4), 13-3102(A)(4). The evidence presented at trial showed that investigating officers found a loaded handgun magazine in a backpack, which also contained Carrasco's bank card and a letter addressed to him, inside a vehicle Carrasco had been driving. A handgun, which matched the magazine and was loaded with the same ammunition, was also found in the vehicle. Carrasco had previously been convicted of a felony, and his right to bear arms had not been restored. We further conclude the sentence imposed is within the statutory limit. See A.R.S. §§ 13-703(C), (J), 13-3102(M).
¶3 Pursuant to our obligation under Anders, we have searched the record for fundamental, reversible error and have found none. Therefore, Carrasco's conviction and sentence are affirmed.
