State Of Washington, Respondent V. Lavell Demeatreous Lewis, Appellant

IN THE COURT OF APPEALS OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON
STATE OF WASHINGTON,
V.
LAVELL LEWIS,
Respondent,
Appellant.
No. 75468-8-1
DIVISION ONE
UNPUBLISHED OPINION
FILED: May 14, 2018
PER CURIAM — Lavell Lewis appeals from the judgment and sentence
entered after he pleaded guilty to communication with a minor for immoral purposes.
Lewis's court-appointed attorney has filed a motion to withdraw on the ground that
there is no basis for a good faith argument on review. Pursuant to State v. Theobald,
78 Wn.2d 184, 470 P.2d 188 (1970), and Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 18 L.
Ed. 2d 493, 87 S. Ct. 1396 (1967), the motion to withdraw must:
[1] be accompanied by a brief referring to anything in the record that
might arguably support the appeal. [2] A copy of counsel's brief should
be furnished the indigent and [3] time allowed him to raise any points
that he chooses;[4] the court—not counsel--then proceeds, after a full
examination of all the proceedings, to decide whether the case is wholly
frivolous.
State v. Theobalci, 78 Wn.2d at 185 (quoting Anders v. California, 386 U.S. at 744).
This procedure has been followed. Lewis's counsel on appeal filed a brief with
the motion to withdraw. Lewis was served with a copy of the brief and informed of
the right to file a statement of additional grounds for review. Lewis did not file a
statement of additional grounds for review.

No. 75468-8-1/2
The facts are accurately set forth in counsel's brief in support of the motion to
withdraw. The court has reviewed the briefs filed in this court and has independently
reviewed the entire record. The court specifically considered the following potential
issues raised by counsel:
1. Whether the trial court erred in granting Lewis's motion to proceed pro se?
2. Whether the trial court erred in finding Lewis competent to stand trial and
plead guilty.
3. Whether Lewis's guilty plea was knowing, intelligent, and voluntary?
4. Whether the trial court erred in denying Lewis's motion to withdraw his guilty
plea?
The potential issues raised by counsel are wholly frivolous. Counsel's motion
to withdraw is granted and the appeal is dismissed.
For the court:
