This is the third time this case has been before this court. In January of this year, we first remanded the case to settle and supplement the record and for rebriefing. Stribling v. State, 2011 Ark. App. 57. Appellant's counsel corrected the deficiencies noted in that opinion and again submitted a brief in no-merit form. In an opinion dated May 25, 2011, we held that an appeal would not be wholly frivolous and ordered rebriefing a second time, further directing that counsel submit an adversarial brief.
Appellant Otis Stribling was tried by a jury, found guilty of possession of a controlled substance (cocaine), and was sentenced to thirty-six months in the Arkansas Department of Correction. This is the second time this no-merit case has been before our court. In January of this year, we remanded the case to settle and supplement the record, and for rebriefing. Stribling v. State, 2011 Ark. App. 57. Appellant's counsel has corrected the deficiencies noted in that opinion, and the case is now before us again in no-merit form. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and Rule 4-3(k) of the Arkansas Rules of the Supreme Court and Court of Appeals, appellant's counsel has filed a motion to withdraw on the grounds that the appeal is without merit.
