MEMORANDUM DECISION
Judge Vásquez authored the decision of the Court, in which Judge Howard and Judge Brammer concurred. VÁSQUEZ, Judge:
The Hon. J. William Brammer, Jr., a retired judge of this court, is called back to active duty to serve on this case pursuant to orders of this court and the supreme court.
¶1 Following a jury trial, appellant Daniel Feasel was convicted of possession of a deadly weapon by a prohibited possessor, possession of methamphetamine, possession of marijuana, and possession of drug paraphernalia. The trial court sentenced him to enhanced, mitigated, concurrent, prison terms, the longest of which were six years. Counsel has filed a brief in compliance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and State v. Clark, 196 Ariz. 530, 2 P.3d 89 (App. 1999), stating he has reviewed the record and has found no "meritorious issue for appeal." Counsel has asked us to search the record for reversible error. Feasel has not filed a supplemental brief.
¶2 Viewed in the light most favorable to sustaining the verdict, the evidence was sufficient to support the jury's finding of guilt. See State v. Tamplin, 195 Ariz. 246, ¶ 2, 986 P.2d 914, 914 (App. 1999). The evidence presented at trial showed that in April 2012, an officer stopped the vehicle in which Feasel was riding. Feasel, who admitted to officers and stipulated at trial that he was prohibited from possessing a weapon due to a felony conviction, was found with a handgun in his front pants pocket. A backpack containing methamphetamine, marijuana, and "various pieces of paraphernalia," as well as a document for the Social Security Administration bearing Feasel's name, was found "directly in front of" where he had been sitting and he admitted it belonged to him. We further conclude the sentences imposed are within the statutory limit. A.R.S. §§ 13-703(C), (J); 13-3102(A)(4), (M); 13-3405(A)(1), (B)(1); 13-3407(A)(1), (B); 13-3415(A).
¶3 Pursuant to our obligation under Anders, we have searched the record for fundamental, reversible error and have found none. Therefore, we affirm Feasel's convictions and sentences.
