                           MEMORANDUM OPINION

      Angelo Hernandez appeals his conviction for resisting arrest, a Class A

misdemeanor.1 Hernandez’s court-appointed appellate counsel filed an Anders brief,

in which she contends no arguable grounds can be advanced to support Hernandez’s

                                         1
appeal. 2 In the brief, counsel presents her professional evaluation of the record, and

she explains why no arguable issues can be raised to support Hernandez’s appeal.3

      Subsequently, we granted an extension of time to allow Hernandez to file a

pro se response. But he did not do so.

      After reviewing the appellate record and the Anders brief filed by counsel, we

agree with counsel’s conclusion that Hernandez cannot raise any arguable issues to

support the appeal. We also conclude Hernandez’s appeal is frivolous. For these

reasons, we need not appoint new counsel to re-brief the appeal.4

      The trial court’s judgment is affirmed. 5

      AFFIRMED.
