OPINION

Per Curiam:

The appellant was convicted of attempted burglary and the possession of burglary instruments. ‍​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​​​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‍The Public Defender of Washoe County has submitted this appeal pursuant to the *541command of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), referring to any point in the record that ‍​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​​​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‍might arguably support an appeal, Sanchez v. State, 85 Nev. 95, 450 P.2d 793 (1969).

This court ordered that a transcript be supplied to the appellant who is indigent. Griffin v. ‍​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​​​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‍Illinois, 351 U.S. 12 (1956); Draper v. Washington, 372 U.S. 487 (1963); Eskridge v. Washington Prison Bd., 357 U.S. 214 (1958); Entsminger v. Iowa, 386 U.S. 748 (1967). Our independent review of the record establishes ‍​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​​​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‍that the claims of error are frivolous. The identification of the appellant as the attempted burglar was adequate; his arrest was with probable cause; and the search ‍​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​​​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‍of his person and seizure of burglary tools was incident to a lawful arrest.

Affirmed.
