                               Before Chief Justice Wright and Justices FitzGerald and Fillmore
                                                Opinion by Justice FitzGerald

              Brian Lee Lindeman waived a jury and pleaded guilty to aggravated robbery with a

deadly weapon and unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon (UPFF).1 Also, in each case,

appellant pleaded true to one enhancement paragraph alleging a prior felony conviction. The

trial court assessed punishment at twenty years’ imprisonment for the aggravated robbery and ten

years’ imprisonment for the UPFF. On appeal, appellant’s attorney filed a brief in which she

concludes the appeals are wholly frivolous and without merit. The brief meets the requirements

of Anders v. California.2 The brief presents a professional evaluation of the record showing

why, in effect, there are no arguable grounds to advance.3 Counsel delivered a copy of the brief

to appellant. We advised appellant of his right to file a pro se response, but he did not file a pro

se response.4

              We have reviewed the record and counsel’s brief.5 We agree the appeals are frivolous

and without merit. We find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeals.

              We affirm the trial court’s judgments.
