Opinion

65654.

DECIDED JUNE 29, 1983.

Rape, etc. Lowndes Superior Court. Before Judge Horkan.

James Edward Arnold, pro se. H. Lamar Cole, District Attorney, for appellee.


Appellant appeals from his conviction of rape and burglary. Appointed counsel for appellant has filed a motion to withdraw pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 ( 87 SC 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493) (1967). In accordance with Anders, counsel has filed a brief raising points of law which arguably could support the appeal. In addition, as required by Bethay v. State, 237 Ga. 625 ( 229 S.E.2d 406) (1976), we have fully examined the record and transcript to determine independently if any errors of law occurred. We find that the points raised are without merit and our independent examination discloses no errors requiring reversal. Accordingly, we grant the motion to withdraw and affirm appellant's conviction. After a review of the entire record, we find that any rational trier of fact could reasonably have found from the evidence adduced at trial proof of appellant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307 (99 SC 2781, 61 L.Ed.2d 560) (1979); Baldwin v. State, 153 Ga. App. 35, 37 ( 264 S.E.2d 528) (1980).

Judgment affirmed. Deen, P. J., and Banke, J., concur.

DECIDED JUNE 29, 1983.
