MEMORANDUM DECISION

Chief Judge Howard authored the decision of the Court, in which Presiding Judge Vásquez and Judge Miller concurred.

HOWARD, Chief Judge:

¶1 Brandon Rookhuizen was convicted after a jury trial of possession of drug paraphernalia. The trial court suspended the imposition of sentence and placed Rookhuizen on an eighteen-month term of probation. 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), asserting he has reviewed the record but found no arguable issue to raise on appeal. Consistent with Clark, 196 Ariz. 530, ¶ 32, 2 P.3d at 97, 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. Rookhuizen has not filed a supplemental brief.

¶2 Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to sustaining the verdict, see State v. Tamplin, 195 Ariz. 246, ¶ 2, 986 P.2d 914, 914 (App. 1999), we find sufficient evidence to support the jury's finding. Rookhuizen admitted to a police officer that a spoon, syringe, and tourniquet—items used to inject heroin—found with him in a car belonged to him and that he had been attempting to use heroin in the car. See A.R.S. § 13-3415(A), (F). And we find no error in the trial court's decision to suspend the imposition of sentence and place Rookhuizen on probation. See A.R.S. §§ 13-901.01(A); 13-902(A)(4); 13-3415(A).

¶3 Pursuant to our obligation under Anders, we have searched the record for fundamental, reversible error and found none. See State v. Fuller, 143 Ariz. 571, 575, 694 P.2d 1185, 1189 (1985) (Anders requires court to search record for fundamental error). Rookhuizen's conviction and disposition are affirmed.
