Opinion



No. 04-97-00313-CR


Hiram MILES,
Appellant


v.


The STATE of Texas,
Appellee


From the 290th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 96-CR-0010
Honorable Sharon MacRae, Judge Presiding


Opinion by: Karen Angelini, Justice

Sitting: Tom Rickhoff, Justice

Paul W. Green, Justice

Karen Angelini, Justice

Delivered and Filed: March 3, 1999

AFFIRMED



Hiram Miles was convicted by jury of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. Miles' court-appointed attorney has filed a brief in which he raises two arguable points of error, but nonetheless concludes that this appeal is frivolous and without merit. Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967); High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978). The brief meets the requirements of Anders. Counsel has provided Miles with a copy of the brief and advised him of his right to review the record and file a pro se brief. Nichols v. State, 954 S.W.2d 83, 85 (Tex. App.--San Antonio 1997, no pet.). Miles has not filed a brief.

After reviewing the record and counsel's brief, we agree that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. The judgment of the trial court is affirmed, and counsel's motion to withdraw is granted. Nichols, 954 S.W.2d at 86.

Karen Angelini, Justice
