STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA
v. Pender County
No. 03 CRS 51882
DURLAND PARRISH
Attorney General Roy Cooper, by Q. Shante' Martin, for the
State.
Appellate Defender Staples Hughes for defendant-appellant.
TIMMONS-GOODSON, Judge.
Defendant pled guilty, pursuant to a plea agreement, to first-
degree sex offense with a child. In accordance with the terms of
the plea agreement, the trial court sentenced defendant to a
presumptive term of 192-240 months imprisonment. Defendant
appeals.
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 he has
complied with the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S.738, 18 L. Ed. 2d 493, reh'g denied, 388 U.S. 924, 18 L. Ed. 2d
1377 (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 or whether the appeal is wholly frivolous.
We conclude that the appeal is wholly frivolous. Furthermore, we
have examined the record for possible prejudicial error and have
found none.
No error.
Judges CALABRIA and LEVINSON concur.
Report per Rule 30(e).
