Rodney Deon Sampson v. State ( 2014 )

AFFIRM; and Opinion Filed June 16, 2014.
In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-12-01651-CR
RODNEY DEON SAMPSON, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 4
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F11-53164-K
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Fillmore, Evans, and Lewis
Opinion by Justice Fillmore
A jury convicted Rodney Deon Sampson of possession with intent to deliver cocaine in
an amount of four grams or more but less than 200 grams. See TEX. HEALTH & SAFETY CODE
ANN. § 481.112(a), (d) (West 2010). The trial court assessed punishment at fifteen years’
imprisonment. On appeal, Sampson’s attorney filed a brief in which she concludes the appeal is
wholly frivolous and without merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California,
386 U.S. 738 (1967). The brief presents a professional evaluation of the record showing why, in
effect, there are no arguable grounds to advance. See High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 811–12
(Tex. Crim. App. [Panel Op.] 1978). Counsel delivered a copy of the brief to Sampson. We
advised Sampson of his right to file a pro se response, but he did not file a pro se response.
We have reviewed the record and counsel’s brief. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824,
826–27 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005) (explaining appellate court’s duty in Anders cases). We agree
the appeal is frivolous and without merit. We find nothing in the record that might arguably
support the appeal.
We affirm the trial court’s judgment.
