ARKANSAS COURT OF APPEALS
DIVISION I
No. CR-14-451
Opinion Delivered January 14, 2015
ROBERT EDWARD JONES APPEAL FROM THE CRITTENDEN
APPELLANT COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT
[NO. CR-2007-49D]
V.
HONORABLE RALPH WILSON, JR.,
STATE OF ARKANSAS JUDGE
APPELLEE
AFFIRMED; MOTION TO
WITHDRAW GRANTED
BRANDON J. HARRISON, Judge
The Crittenden County Circuit Court revoked Robert Jones’s probation and
sentenced him to twelve years’ imprisonment. On appeal, Jones’s counsel argues that
there are no meritorious grounds for appeal and asks to be relieved as counsel. The clerk
of our court mailed a certified copy of counsel’s motion and brief to Jones in accordance
with Rule 4-3(k)(2) of the Arkansas Rules of the Supreme Court, informing him of his
right to file pro se points for reversal. Jones has not filed pro se points for reversal.
Because counsel has complied with the requirements of Rule 4-3(k), we grant the motion
to be relieved and affirm.
The test for filing a no-merit brief is not whether there is any reversible error, but
whether an appeal would be wholly frivolous. Tucker v. State, 47 Ark. App. 96, 885
S.W.2d 904 (1994). Based on our review of the record for potential error pursuant to
1
Cite as 2015 Ark. App. 4
Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and the requirements of Rule 4-3(k), we hold
that Jones’s appeal is wholly without merit. Therefore, pursuant to sections (a) and (b) of
In re Memorandum Opinions, 16 Ark. App. 301, 700 S.W.2d 63 (1985), we issue this
memorandum opinion granting counsel’s motion to withdraw and affirming the court’s
revocation.
Affirmed; motion to withdraw granted.
VAUGHT and BROWN, JJ., agree.
S. Butler Bernard, Jr., for appellant.
No response.
