SUBMITTED SEPTEMBER 13, 1978.
DECIDED SEPTEMBER 28, 1978.
Theft by taking. Clayton Superior Court. Before Judge Crumbley.
Steinberg Osborne, Harry A. Osborne, Robert E. Bach, for appellant.
Robert E. Keller, District Attorney, for appellee.
The defendant was found guilty by a jury of theft by taking. Counsel was appointed to represent him on appeal. After the appeal was docketed, appointed counsel filed a motion to withdraw. This motion was accompanied by a brief in which he reviewed all possible grounds for appeal and discussed controlling authority which established that any appeal on these grounds would be wholly frivolous. He served a copy of both his motion and his brief on the defendant on July 28, 1978. The court subsequently granted the defendant's written request for an extension of time in which to retain counsel and file enumerations of errors and briefs. As of this date, no enumerations or briefs have been filed.
The court has conducted a full review of the record of the trial court proceedings and has also determined that no error was committed at trial and that the appeal is wholly frivolous. Accordingly, appointed counsel's motion to withdraw is granted, and the defendant's appeal is dismissed. Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 ( 87 SC 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493) (1967); Bethay v.
