Darrian De'Anthony Davis–Sanders, Appellant v. The State of Texas, Appellee
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Darrian De‘Anthony Davis–Sanders appeals from a judgment that adjudicated him guilty of delivery of less than one gram of cocaine within a school zone, sentenced him to ten years' imprisonment, and ordered him to pay $140.00 in restitution. Davis–Sanders has filed a single brief, in which he raises an issue common to all of his appeals.1 He argues that his counsel rendered ineffective assistance by failing to question the legality of the search that led police officers to discover that he was in possession of methamphetamine and a firearm.
We addressed this issue in detail in our opinion of this date on Davis–Sanders' appeal in cause number 06–14–00186–CR. For the reasons stated therein, we likewise conclude that Davis–Sanders has failed to demonstrate that he received ineffective assistance of counsel in this case.
We affirm the trial court's judgment.
FOOTNOTES
1. In our cause numbers 06–14–00186–CR, 06–14–00187–CR, and 06–14–00188–CR, Davis–Sanders also appeals from (1) a judgment adjudicating him guilty of delivery of less than one gram of cocaine within a school zone, sentencing him to ten years' imprisonment, and ordering him to pay $140.00 in restitution; (2) a judgment adjudicating him guilty of delivery of less than one gram of cocaine within a school zone, sentencing him to ten years' imprisonment, and ordering him to pay $102.00 in restitution; and (3) a judgment adjudicating him guilty of possession with intent to deliver four or more grams, but less than 200 grams of cocaine within a school zone, sentencing him to sixty years' imprisonment, and ordering him to pay a $1,450.00 fine.
