MEMORANDUM DECISION

Chief Judge Eckerstrom authored the decision of the Court, in which Presiding Judge Eppich and Judge Espinosa concurred.

ECKERSTROM, Chief Judge:

¶1 After a jury trial, Gilbert Cordova was convicted of fraudulent schemes and artifices, forgery of a credit card, and theft of a credit card. The trial court sentenced him to concurrent prison terms, the longest of which is 10.5 years.

¶2 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 he has reviewed the record but found no "issue that is not frivolous" to raise on appeal. He asks this court to search the record for error. Cordova has not filed a supplemental brief.

¶3 Viewed in the light most favorable to sustaining the jury's verdicts, see State v. Tamplin, 195 Ariz. 246, ¶ 2 (App. 1999), the evidence is sufficient to support its verdicts here, see A.R.S. §§ 13-2102(A), 13-2104(A), 13-2310(A). In August and September of 2014, Cordova and his accomplices used altered credit cards with stolen bank account numbers to make a number of purchases.

¶4 Sufficient evidence also supports the trial court's finding that Cordova had two historical prior felony convictions. The sentences imposed are within the statutory range. See A.R.S. §§ 13-703(C), (J), 13-2103(B), 13-2104(B), 13-2310(A).

¶5 We have searched the record for reversible error and found none. We therefore affirm Cordova's convictions and sentences.
