Attorney General Roy Cooper, by Assistant Attorney General
Christopher W. Brooks, for the State.
Appellate Defender Staples Hughes, by Assistant Appellate
Defender Benjamin Dowling-Sendor, for defendant-appellant.
BRYANT, Judge.
A jury found Jate Antwain Carter (defendant) guilty on 14
December 2004 of three counts of robbery with a dangerous weapon,
three counts of second degree kidnapping, and one count of
felonious entering. On 3 January 2005, the trial court entered,
consistent with the jury verdict, judgments imposing four active
terms of imprisonment.
Defendant filed the record on appeal in this Court on 20
January 2006. Defendant's appellate counsel has
filed a brief
pursuant to 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) in which he requests thisCourt to review the record for possible prejudicial error.
Counsel
states that he is unable to identify an issue with sufficient
merit to support a meaningful argument for relief on appeal. In
the brief, counsel calls this Court's attention to assignments of
error which he believes may have the most arguable merit. Counsel
explains why he concluded these assignment of errors could not be
sustained.
In further compliance with Anders and Kinch, counsel has
attached to the brief a letter he wrote to defendant advising him
of his inability to find possible error, of counsel's requesting
this Court to conduct its own independent review of the record for
possible error, and of defendant's right to file his own written
arguments directly with this Court. Defendant has not personally
filed any written arguments.
After carefully reviewing the record, we concur with counsel's
assessment that possible prejudicial error is not present.
No error.
Judges TYSON and LEVINSON concur.
Report per Rule 30(e).
