                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

      Adam Francis Kozdra pleaded guilty to robbery, enhanced by prior

convictions, and after conducting a trial on punishment, the trial court sentenced

Kozdra to life in prison. Kozdra’s appellate counsel filed a brief that presents

counsel’s professional evaluation of the record and concludes Kozdra’s appeal is

frivolous. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967); High v. State, 573
S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978). We granted an extension of time for Kozdra

to file a pro se brief, but we received no response from Kozdra.

                                         1
      We have determined that this appeal is wholly frivolous. We have

independently examined the clerk’s record and the reporter’s record, and we agree

that no arguable issues support an appeal. We find it unnecessary to order

appointment of new counsel to re-brief the appeal. 1 Compare Stafford v. State, 813
S.W.2d 503, 511 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). We affirm the trial court’s judgment.

      AFFIRMED.
