COURT OF APPEALS

EIGHTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

EL PASO, TEXAS


JONATHAN KEITH MILLER,


                            Appellant,


v.


THE STATE OF TEXAS,


                            Appellee.

§





No. 08-04-00209-CR


Appeal from the


228th District Court


of Harris County, Texas


(TC# 946061)


O P I N I O N


           This is an appeal from a jury conviction for the offense of unlawful possession of a firearm. The jury assessed punishment at three years’ imprisonment and a fine of $2,500. We affirm.

           Appellant’s court-appointed counsel has filed a brief in which she has concluded that the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493, reh. denied, 388 U.S. 924, 87 S.Ct. 2094, 18 L.Ed.2d 1377 (1967), by presenting a professional evaluation of the record demonstrating why, in effect, there are no arguable grounds to be advanced. See High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978); Currie v. State, 516 S.W.2d 684 (Tex. Crim. App. 1974); Jackson v. State, 485 S.W.2d 553 (Tex. Crim. App. 1972); Gainous v. State, 436 S.W.2d 137 (Tex. Crim. App. 1969). A copy of counsel’s brief has been delivered to Appellant, and Appellant has been advised of his right to examine the appellate record and file a pro se brief. Appellant has filed a pro se brief.

           We have carefully reviewed the record and counsel’s brief and agree that the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit. Further, we find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeal. A discussion of the matter discussed in counsel’s brief and the pro se brief would add nothing to the jurisprudence of the state.

           The judgment is affirmed.
