MEMORANDUM DECISION
Judge Brearcliffe authored the decision of the Court, in which Presiding Judge Staring and Chief Judge Eckerstrom concurred. BREARCLIFFE, Judge:
¶1 After a jury trial, Ernesto Quijada was convicted of armed robbery. The trial court sentenced him to a twenty-year prison term. 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), asserting he has reviewed the record but found no arguably meritorious issue to raise on appeal. Consistent with Clark, 196 Ariz. 530, ¶ 32, he has provided "a detailed factual and procedural history of the case with citations to the record" and asks this court to search the record for error. Quijada has not filed a supplemental brief.
¶2 Viewed in the light most favorable to sustaining the jury's verdict, see State v. Tamplin, 195 Ariz. 246, ¶ 2 (App. 1999), the evidence is sufficient to support the verdict here, see A.R.S. §§ 13-1902(A), 13-1904(A)(1). In November 2016, Quijada and another man entered a convenience store, one of them displaying what appeared to be a firearm; they demanded money from an employee and left after receiving approximately $250. Quijada admitted having three previous felony convictions and admitted he had committed the offense for pecuniary gain and had caused physical, emotional, or financial harm to the victims. See A.R.S. § 13-701(D)(6), (9). The sentence imposed was lawful. See A.R.S. §§ 13-703(C), (J), 13-1904(B).
A witness claimed Quijada had a "black ops BB gun" that "looks like a real gun." --------
¶3 Pursuant to our obligation under Anders, we have searched the record for reversible error, and have found none. We affirm Quijada's conviction and sentence.
