ARKANSAS COURT OF APPEALS
DIVISION III
No. CR-13-338
PATRICK S. BEDNARZ, JR. Opinion Delivered January 15, 2014
APPELLANT
APPEAL FROM THE LONOKE
V. COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT
[NO. CR10-383]
STATE OF ARKANSAS HONORABLE SANDY HUCKABEE,
APPELLEE JUDGE
AFFIRMED; MOTION GRANTED
RITA W. GRUBER, Judge
Appellant Patrick S. Bednarz, Jr., pleaded guilty to second-degree sexual assault and
was sentenced to 60 months of supervised probation on February 24, 2011. The State filed
a petition to revoke appellant’s probation and an amended petition to revoke, alleging that
he violated the conditions thereof by failing to report to intake as directed; failing to pay
fines; being arrested and charged with failure to register; using alcohol; and committing an
offense punishable by imprisonment, terroristic threatening. After a hearing, the trial court
found that appellant had violated the conditions of his probation and sentenced him to ten
years’ imprisonment.
Pursuant to Anders v. California,
(1967), and Arkansas Supreme Court
Rule 4-3(k), 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
Cite as
a brief in which counsel explains why there is nothing in the record that would support an
appeal. The revocation decision was the only adverse ruling at the hearing. 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 brief 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 order is affirmed.
Affirmed; motion to withdraw granted.
HARRISON and WOOD, JJ., agree.
Robert M. “Robby” Golden, for appellant.
No response.
