SHANTELL L. PERKINS Opinion Delivered June 4, 2014
APPELLANT
APPEAL FROM THE CRITTENDEN
V. COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT
[NO. CR-2009-431]
STATE OF ARKANSAS HONORABLE RALPH WILSON, JR.,
APPELLEE JUDGE
AFFIRMED; MOTION GRANTED
RITA W. GRUBER, Judge
Appellant Shantell Perkins entered a plea of guilty to the felony charge of theft of
property and was sentenced to twenty-four months’ probation on July 12, 2011. The State
filed a petition to revoke appellant’s probation, alleging that she violated the conditions
thereof by failing to pay fines and costs; failing to report to probation; failing to pay probation
fees; failing to notify sheriff and probation of current address and employment; departing an
approved residence without permission; possessing and using marijuana; possessing and using
other illegal substances; committing robbery; and possessing pepper spray. After a hearing,
the trial court found that appellant had violated the conditions of her probation and
sentenced her to 60 months’ imprisonment followed by thirty-six months’ suspended
imposition of sentence.
Pursuant to Arkansas Supreme Court Rule 4-3(k) (2013), appellant’s counsel has filed
a motion to be relieved, stating that there is no merit to the appeal. The motion is
Cite as 2014 Ark. App. 354
accompanied by an abstract and addendum of the proceedings below, including all objections
and motions decided adversely to appellant, and a brief in which counsel explains why there
is nothing in the record that would support an appeal. The clerk of this court served
appellant with a copy of her counsel’s brief and notified her of her right to file a pro se
statement of points for reversal within thirty days. Appellant has filed no such statement.
From our review of the record and the brief presented to us, 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 order is affirmed.
Affirmed; motion granted.
GLOVER and WHITEAKER, JJ., agree.
C. Brian Williams, for appellant.
No response.
