Holmes v. State

Court of Appeals of Georgia

288 S.E.2d 573 (Ga. Ct. App. 1982)

Opinion

63020, 63021, 63022.

DECIDED JANUARY 8, 1982.

Aggravated assault, etc. Chatham Superior Court. Before Judge Brannen.

Howard A. McGlasson, Jr., for appellant.

Spencer Lawton, Jr., District Attorney, Robert M. Hitch III, Assistant District Attorney, for appellee.


Theodore Holmes was convicted of aggravated assault in all three cases. On appeal, his attorney has filed a motion to withdraw on the ground that the appeals are wholly frivolous based upon Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 ( 87 SC 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493) (1967). In accordance with Anders, counsel has filed briefs raising points of law which arguably could support the appeals. 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 agree with counsel that the points raised are without merit and our independent examination discloses no occurrence of any errors requiring reversal. Accordingly, we grant counsel's motion to withdraw and affirm appellant's convictions. See Snell v. State, 246 Ga. 648 ( 272 S.E.2d 348) (1980). After a review of the entire record, we find that a 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. Banke and Carley, JJ., concur.

DECIDED JANUARY 8, 1982.
