ARKANSAS COURT OF APPEALS
DIVISION III
No. CR-13-443
Opinion Delivered January 15, 2014
JOE JONES APPEAL FROM THE CRITTENDEN
APPELLANT COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT
[CR-2008-258]
V.
HONORABLE RALPH WILSON, JR.,
STATE OF ARKANSAS JUDGE
APPELLEE AFFIRMED; MOTION TO WITHDRAW
GRANTED
RHONDA K. WOOD, Judge
This is a no-merit appeal from a probation revocation. Joe Jones pleaded guilty to
fleeing, a Class “D” felony, and was sentenced to sixty months’ probation. The State filed a
petition to revoke Jones’s probation alleging that, among other violations, he had failed to
pay his fines, costs, and fees as directed. The circuit court revoked his probation and
sentenced him to seventy-two months’ suspended imposition of sentence.
In compliance with Rule 4-3(k) of the Rules of the Arkansas Supreme Court and
Court of Appeals, Jones’s attorney brings a no-merit appeal and a motion asking to be
relieved as counsel. The motion to withdraw is accompanied by a brief, including both a
discussion of all matters in the record that might arguably support an appeal and a statement
Cite as
as to why counsel considers the points to be incapable of supporting a meritorious appeal.
Jones has not exercised his right to file pro se points for reversal.
The State needs to show only one violation of probation in order to sustain a
revocation. Phillips v. State,
(2008). Here, the
Crittenden County Sheriff’s Office Collector, Amy Peyton, testified that her office had not
received any payments from Jones. This was sufficient for the court to find that Jones
violated his probation by failing to pay all fines, costs, and probation fees. From our review
of the record and the brief presented to us, we find that counsel has complied with the
requirements of Rule 4-3(k)(1) and hold that there is no merit to this appeal. Accordingly,
counsel’s motion to withdraw is granted and the revocation is affirmed.
Affirmed; motion to withdraw granted.
HARRISON and GRUBER, JJ., agree.
C. Brian Williams, for appellant.
No response.
