DECIDED MAY 3, 1983.
Murder. Thomas Superior Court. Before Judge Lilly.
Whitehurst, Cohen Blackburn, Ronald A. Cohen, for appellant.
H. Lamar Cole, District Attorney, James E. Hardy, Assistant District Attorney, Michael J. Bowers, Attorney General, for appellee.
The appellant was convicted in the Thomas County Superior Court of the murders of Ceola Virgil, his wife, and Steve Minatee, his stepson, and of the possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Virgil's court-appointed counsel filed an appeal in this Court but has since filed a motion requesting permission to withdraw from the case.
We find that Virgil's counsel has met all of the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 ( 87 S.C. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493) (1967), and we have carefully reviewed the record and transcript and conclude that the appeal is frivolous. There is ample evidence to support the conviction, and we find that no reversible error was committed. Accordingly, counsel is granted permission to withdraw, and the appeal is dismissed. Anders v. California, supra; Hill v. State, 238 Ga. 564 ( 233 S.E.2d 796) (1977).
Motion granted; appeal dismissed. All the Justices concur, except Smith and Bell, JJ., who would affirm.
