DECIDED MARCH 19, 1981.
Armed robbery. Thomas Superior Court. Before Judge Horkan.
H. Lamar Cole, District Attorney, Richard H. Goolsby, Dwight H. May, James E. Hardy, Assistant District Attorneys, for appellee.
Appellant was convicted of armed robbery and was sentenced to a full term of eighteen (18) years to be served in confinement. His appointed attorney has filed a motion to withdraw as counsel pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 ( 87 SC 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493). In accordance with Anders, counsel has filed a brief raising points of law which he considered arguably could support an 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 there are any meritorious errors of law. We are in agreement with counsel that none of the points raised, though persuasively presented, have any merit nor does our independent examination disclose any errors of substance. Therefore, this court grants the motion to withdraw, and we affirm the conviction (see Snell v. State, 246 Ga. 648 ( 272 S.E.2d 348) (1980)). We are satisfied that the evidence adduced at trial was sufficient to enable any rational trier of fact to find guilt of the crimes charged beyond reasonable doubt. Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307 (99 SC 2781, 61 L.Ed.2d 560); Baldwin v. State, 153 Ga. App. 35, 37 ( 264 S.E.2d 528) (1980).
Judgment affirmed. Banke and Carley, JJ., concur.
