Summary

The court found no nonfrivolous grounds for reversal, affirmed the judgment adjudicating guilt, and granted appointed counsel’s motion to withdraw.

- The record contained no nonfrivolous issue or plausible basis for reversal; the judgment adjudicating guilt was affirmed.
Questions Presented
