CALVIN DEWAYNE TAYLOR APPELLANT v. STATE OF ARKANSAS APPELLEE
C. Brian Williams, for appellant. Dustin McDaniel, Att'y Gen., by: Jake H. Jones, Ass't Att'y Gen., for appellee.
APPEAL FROM THE CRITTENDEN
COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT
[NO. CR-2009-506]
HONORABLE RANDY F.
PHILHOURS, JUDGE
AFFIRMED; MOTION TO
WITHDRAW GRANTED
ROBIN F. WYNNE , Judge
On September 14, 2009, Calvin Dewayne Taylor pled guilty to committing a terroristic act and being a felon in possession of a firearm, both Class B felonies, and received a sentence that included ten years' imprisonment followed by five years' suspended imposition of sentence. That suspended sentence was revoked in September 2012, and Taylor now appeals from the revocation of his suspended imposition of sentence. His attorney has filed a motion to withdraw as counsel and a no-merit brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and Rule 4-3(k) of the Rules of the Arkansas Supreme Court and Court of Appeals on the ground that the appeal is wholly without merit. Taylor has filed pro se points for reversal, and the State has filed a response brief.
Counsel incorrectly cites Rule 4-3(j), which governs preparation of briefs for indigent appellants.
From our review of the record, the briefs presented to us, and Taylor's pro se points for reversal, we find compliance with Rule 4-3(k) and that the appeal is without merit. Accordingly, counsel's motion to withdraw is granted, and the revocation is affirmed.
Affirmed; motion to withdraw granted.
PITTMAN and GRUBER, JJ., agree.
C. Brian Williams, for appellant.
Dustin McDaniel, Att'y Gen., by: Jake H. Jones, Ass't Att'y Gen., for appellee.
