TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-10-00659-CR

Lord Uchechekwu Okuche, Appellant

v.

The State of Texas, Appellee

FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF WILLIAMSON COUNTY, 277TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT

NO. 09-204-K277, HONORABLE KEN ANDERSON, JUDGE PRESIDING

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

Appellant Lord Uchechekwu Okuche pleaded guilty to robbery.  See Tex. Penal Code
Ann. § 29.02 (West 2003).  The district court deferred adjudication and placed appellant on
community supervision.  Two months later, the State moved to adjudicate.  After appellant pleaded
true to the alleged violations of supervision, the court adjudged him guilty and assessed punishment
at twelve years' imprisonment.
Appellant's court-appointed attorney has filed a motion to withdraw supported by a
brief concluding that the appeal is frivolous and without merit.  The brief meets the requirements of
Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 744 (1967), by presenting a professional evaluation of the record
demonstrating why there are no arguable grounds to be advanced.  See also Penson v. Ohio,
488 U.S. 75 (1988); High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978); Currie v. State,
516 S.W.2d 684 (Tex. Crim. App. 1974); Jackson v. State, 485 S.W.2d 553 (Tex. Crim. App. 1972);
Gainous v. State, 436 S.W.2d 137 (Tex. Crim. App. 1969).  Appellant received a copy of counsel's
brief and was advised of his right to examine the appellate record and to file a pro se brief.  See
Anders, 386 U.S. at 744.  No pro se brief has been filed.
We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.  See Garner v. State,
300 S.W.3d 763, 766 (Tex. Crim. App. 2009); Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 826-27 (Tex. Crim.
App. 2005).  We agree with counsel that the appeal is frivolous.  Counsel's motion to withdraw
is granted.
The judgment of conviction is affirmed.
