STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA
v. Cumberland County
No. 02 CRS 063658
PATRICK LEE GLENN
Attorney General Roy Cooper, by Assistant Attorney General
Richard Votta, for the State.
Michael J. Reece, for defendant appellant.
McGEE, Judge.
Defendant was found guilty of assault by pointing a gun in
violation of N.C. Gen. Stat. § 14-34 (2003). The trial court
imposed a suspended sentence of sixty days and placed defendant on
supervised probation for twenty-four months. By order entered 23
April 2003, our Court allowed defendant's petition for writ of
certiorari to review the judgment of the trial court.
Counsel appointed to represent defendant has stated he has
been unable to identify any issue with sufficient merit to support
a meaningful argument for relief on appeal. He asks that this
Court conduct its own review of the record for possible prejudicial
error. Counsel has shown to the satisfaction of this Court that hehas 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 to do so. Defendant has not filed any written
arguments on his own behalf with this Court, and a reasonable time
for him to 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
and whether the appeal is wholly frivolous. We conclude the appeal
is frivolous. Furthermore, we have examined the record for
possible prejudicial errors and have found none.
No error.
Chief Judge MARTIN and Judge BRYANT concur.
Report per Rule 30(e).
