Opinion Delivered November 6, 2013
ANDREW DESHAZER APPEAL FROM THE DREW
APPELLANT COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT
[NO. CV-2007-139-1]
V.
HONORABLE SAMUEL B. POPE,
JUDGE
STATE OF ARKANSAS
APPELLEE AFFIRMED; MOTION TO
WITHDRAW GRANTED
ROBERT J. GLADWIN, Chief Judge
Appellant, Andrew Deshazer, pled guilty to the offense of theft of property. He was
sentenced to sixty months’ probation on February 25, 2008. On June 21, 2011, the State
filed a petition to revoke appellant’s probationary sentence alleging that he had violated the
terms and conditions of his probation by failing to report and in not fully paying his fees and
restitution. Appellant’s probationary sentence was not revoked at that time, but he was
ordered by the circuit court to make regular monthly payments on his outstanding balance.
A second petition to revoke was filed by the State on July 18, 2012, alleging that
appellant violated the terms and conditions of his probation by using controlled substances,
failing to submit to drug testing, failing to report, and failing to make court-ordered
payments on the restitution balance. A hearing on that petition was held on November 26,
2012, after which appellant was found guilty of violating the terms and conditions of his
Cite as
probation by using controlled substances, failing to report to his probation officer, and failing
to make court-ordered payments on the restitution balance, particularly between January and
August of 2012. The circuit court revoked his probation and sentenced him to twelve
months in the regional punishment facility pursuant to a December 7, 2012 sentencing order.
He filed a timely notice of appeal on January 4, 2013.
Pursuant to Anders v. California,
(1967), and Arkansas Supreme Court
Rule 4-3(k) (2012), appellant’s counsel has filed a motion to be relieved, stating that there
is no merit to the appeal. The motion is accompanied by an abstract and addendum of the
proceedings below, including all objections and motions decided adversely to appellant, and
a brief in which counsel explains why there is nothing in the record that would support an
appeal.
The clerk of this court served appellant with a copy of his counsel’s brief and notified
him of his right to file a pro se statement of points for reversal within thirty days. Appellant
has filed no such statement.
From our review of the record and the briefs presented to us, we find compliance
with Rule 4-3(k) and that the appeal is without merit. Accordingly, counsel’s motion to
withdraw is granted, and the revocation is affirmed.
Affirmed; motion to withdraw granted.
PITTMAN and WOOD, JJ., agree.
