MEMORANDUM DECISION

Presiding Judge Kelly authored the decision of the Court, in which Judge Brearcliffe and Judge Sklar concurred.

K E L L Y, Presiding Judge:

¶1 After a jury trial, appellant Doniven Brown was convicted of three counts of sexual conduct with a minor under fifteen, all dangerous crimes against children. The trial court sentenced him to minimum, consecutive prison terms of thirteen years each.

¶2 On appeal, counsel has filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and State v. Clark, 196 Ariz. 530 (App. 1999), asserting that he reviewed the record but was “unable to find any arguable question of law that is not frivolous.” Consistent with Clark, 196 Ariz. 530, ¶ 30, counsel has provided a factual and procedural history of the case with citations to the record and has asked this court to search the record for reversible error. Brown has not filed a supplemental brief.

¶3 Viewed in the light most favorable to affirming the verdicts, see State v. Holle, 240 Ariz. 300, ¶ 2 (2016), the evidence is sufficient here, see A.R.S. §§ 13-1401(A), 13-1405(A). Between January and October 2022, Brown twice inserted his fingers and once his tongue into eleven-year-old W.T.‘s vagina. The sentences imposed are within the statutory range. See A.R.S. §§ 13-705(E), 13-1405(B).

¶4 Pursuant to our obligation under Anders, we have searched the record for reversible error and have found none. See State v. Fuller, 143 Ariz. 571, 575 (1985). Accordingly, we affirm Brown‘s convictions and sentences.
