STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA
v. Cumberland County
No. 01CRS53303
JERRY WILLIAM MCNEILL, JR.
Attorney General Roy Cooper, by Special Deputy Attorney
General Robert T. Hargett, for the State.
Everett & Hite, L.L.P., by Stephen D. Kiess, for defendant
appellant.
McCULLOUGH, Judge.
Defendant was convicted by jury verdict of attempted robbery
with a dangerous weapon, first-degree burglary, assault with a
deadly weapon inflicting serious injury and conspiracy to commit
robbery with a dangerous weapon. Defendant also admitted to having
attained the status of habitual felon. On a previous appeal, this
Court determined that defendant had been improperly sentenced as a
prior record Level III offender, and remanded this matter to the
trial court for resentencing. On resentencing, the trial court
corrected the error as mandated by this Court, and sentenced
defendant as an habitual felon having a prior record Level II to
three consecutive sentences and one concurrent sentence of 100-129months' imprisonment. Again, 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 necessary
documents 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 found
none. We, therefore, affirm the judgments of the trial court.
Affirmed.
Chief Judge MARTIN and Judge CALABRIA concur.
Report per Rule 30(e).
