State v. Suarez

Supreme Court of Arizona
Dec 18, 1963
387 P.2d 799 (Ariz. 1963)

Opinion

No. 1365.

December 18, 1963.

Appeal from the Superior Court of Pima County, Robert E. McGhee, J.

Bernard I. Rabinovitz, Tucson, for appellant.

Robert W. Pickrell, Atty. Gen., Norman E. Green, County Atty., Pima County, for appellee.


Appellant was convicted of burglary and sentenced to an indeterminate term of 10 to 15 years. The transcript of testimony shows that prior to appellant's arrest the store which was burglarized had been checked by a police officer who found nothing wrong. About five minutes later the same police officer returning on his rounds found the glass in the door to the store broken. Appellant was inside the store with the booty in his pockets. Appellant entered a plea of not guilty and was represented by counsel at the trial.

Appellant filed his notice of appeal in propria persona and counsel was appointed by the trial court, pursuant to A.R.S. § 13-161, to handle his appeal. Counsel advised this court by written communication that he had searched the record including the transcript of testimony and has been unable to find grounds upon which an appeal could be based. This court ordered the appeal be submitted. On examination of the record and transcript we find no error.

Affirmed.

BERNSTEIN, C.J., UDALL, V.C.J., and STRUCKMEYER, JENNINGS and LOCKWOOD, JJ., concur.
