Syllabus

After conducting an independent review of the record as required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), this court finds no issues with arguable merit for appeal. Appellant knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily pled guilty to one count of aggravated possession of drugs, a fifth-degree felony, and was sentenced to 12 months in prison. Appellant's record included several prior felony convictions, two prior prison terms, multiple failures at prior programs, multiple misdemeanor violations, no interest in participating in a program and lack of responsibility for his actions. Any claim that the sentence was contrary to law or that the sentence was clearly and convincingly contrary to the record is frivolous. Judgment affirmed.
