      FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF HAYS COUNTY, 22ND JUDICIAL DISTRICT
        NO. CR-02-333, HONORABLE CHARLES R. RAMSAY, JUDGE PRESIDING

                            MEMORANDUM OPINION

               Appellant Ezra Pleasant pleaded guilty before a jury to an indictment accusing him

of aggravated sexual assault of a child and two counts of indecency with a child by contact. See Tex.

Pen. Code Ann. § 21.11 (West 2003), § 22.021 (West Supp. 2004-05). The jury returned instructed

verdicts of guilty and assessed punishment for each count at ten years’ imprisonment and a $10,000

fine. On the jury’s recommendation, imposition of sentence was suspended and appellant was placed

on community supervision.

               Appellant’s retained attorney filed a brief stating that there are no meritorious grounds

of error and that the appeal is frivolous. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967) (applying

to appointed counsel). A copy of counsel’s brief was delivered to appellant, who has not responded.
              We have reviewed the record and find no error that should be reviewed in the interest

of justice. Counsel’s motion to withdraw is granted.

              The judgments of conviction are affirmed.

                                            __________________________________________
