Citation: Not availableDocket: 02-06-00118-CR
Court: Court of Appeals of Texas; February 14, 2007; Texas; State Appellate Court
Original Court Document: View Document
Jason Rand Easley appeals his convictions for possession of a controlled substance, forgery by possession of a forged writing (U.S. currency), and theft of a vehicle. The appellate court affirms the convictions. Easley's court-appointed counsel filed a motion to withdraw, asserting that the appeals are frivolous and meeting the criteria of Anders v. California by providing a professional assessment of the record without any arguable grounds for relief. Easley was given the opportunity to submit a pro se brief but did not do so. The court, upon reviewing the record independently, found no jurisdictional defects. The indictments provided sufficient notice, and Easley knowingly and voluntarily entered his guilty pleas, supported by signed plea admonishments and judicial confessions for each offense. Although counsel raised the potential issue of excessive sentencing, the six-year sentences for each offense were within statutory limits and not deemed excessive. Consequently, the court grants counsel’s motion to withdraw and affirms the trial court’s judgments.
