ARKANSAS COURT OF APPEALS
DIVISION IV
No. CR-14-294
Opinion Delivered May 6, 2015
DEWAYNE CURTIS WRIGHT APPEAL FROM THE OUACHITA
APPELLANT COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT
[NO. CR-2012-98-3]
V. HONORABLE EDWIN KEATON,
JUDGE
STATE OF ARKANSAS AFFIRMED; MOTION TO
APPELLEE WITHDRAW GRANTED
PHILLIP T. WHITEAKER, Judge
Dewayne Curtis Wright appeals from his Ouachita County Circuit Court convictions
for aggravated robbery, theft of property, and third-degree battery. Appellate counsel has filed
a motion with this court to be relieved as counsel pursuant to Anders v. California,
(1967), and Arkansas Supreme Court Rule 4-3(k) (2014). The motion is accompanied
by a no-merit brief containing an abstract and addendum of the proceedings below. The
abstract and addendum in counsel’s brief include all objections and motions decided adversely
to appellant, and counsel explains in the argument portion of his brief why there is nothing
in the record that would arguably support an appeal. Wright has filed a pro se statement of
points for reversal, and the State has filed a response thereto.
The test for filing a no-merit brief is not whether there is any reversible error but
whether an appeal would be wholly frivolous. See Tucker v. State,
S.W.2d 904 (1994). From our review of the record and the brief presented to us, including
consideration of Wright’s pro se points for reversal, which are either not preserved for appeal
or do not otherwise support reversal, we find compliance with Rule 4-3(k) and that there is
no merit to an appeal.
Affirmed; motion to withdraw granted.
VIRDEN and GRUBER, JJ., agree.
N. Mark Klappenbach, for appellant.
Dustin McDaniel, Att’y Gen., by: Ashley Priest, Ass’t Att’y Gen., for appellee.
