STATE of North Carolina v. Musab Ahmad NAUSHAD.
Attorney General Roy Cooper, by Assistant Attorney General Kathleen N. Bolton, for the State. Michele Goldman, for defendant-appellant.
Appeal by defendant from judgment entered 24 August 2011 by Judge James W. Morgan in Mecklenburg County Superior Court. Heard in the Court of Appeals 30 July 2012. Attorney General Roy Cooper, by Assistant Attorney General Kathleen N. Bolton, for the State. Michele Goldman, for defendant-appellant.
HUNTER, ROBERT C., Judge.
A jury found defendant guilty of attempted robbery with a dangerous weapon and assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill. The trial court sentenced defendant to a term of 69 to 92 months imprisonment. Defendant appeals.
Counsel appointed to represent defendant on appeal has filed an Anders brief indicating she is “unable to identify an issue with sufficient merit to support a meaningful argument for relief on appeal.” She asks that this Court conduct its own review of the record for possible prejudicial error. Counsel has filed documentation with the Court showing that she has complied with the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), and State v. Kinch, 314 N.C. 99, 331 S.E.2d 665 (1985), by advising defendant of his right to file written arguments with the Court and providing him with a copy of the documents pertinent to his appeal. Defendant has filed no additional arguments of his own with this Court, and a reasonable time for such arguments has passed.
In accordance with Anders, we have fully examined the record to determine whether any issues of arguable merit appear therefrom and whether the appeal is wholly frivolous. We find no possible prejudicial error.
No error. Judges ELMORE and McCULLOUGH concur.
Report per Rule 30(e).
