Counsel appointed to represent defendant has been unable to
identify any issue with sufficient merit to support a meaningful
argument for relief on appeal and asks that this Court conduct
its own review of the record for possible prejudicial error.
Counsel has also shown to the satisfaction of this Court that
she has complied with the requirements of Anders v. California,
386 U.S. 738, 18 L.Ed. 2d 493 (1967), and State v. Kinch, 314
N.C. 99, 331 S.E.2d 665 (1985), by advising defendant of his
right to file written arguments with this Court and providing
him with the documents necessary for him to do so.
Defendant has not filed any written arguments on his own
behalf with this Court and a reasonable time in which he could
have done so has passed. In accordance with Anders, we have
fully examined the record to determine whether any issues of
arguable merit appear therefrom. We have been unable to find
any possible prejudicial error and conclude that the appeal is
wholly frivolous.
NO ERROR.
Judges BRYANT and HUNTER, JR., Robert N. concur.
Report per Rule 30(e).
