Court of Appeals of Georgia

316 S.E.2d 841 (Ga. Ct. App. 1984)

Opinion

67891.

DECIDED MARCH 12, 1984.

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

Spencer Lawton, Jr., District Attorney, for appellee.


Appellant was convicted of burglary and aggravated assault with intent to rape. 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), 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 the points raised, though persuasively presented, have no merit nor does our independent examination disclose any errors of substance. Appellant has offered no objection to this motion, nor additional argument. Therefore, this court previously having granted the motion to withdraw, we now affirm the conviction (see Snell v. State, 246 Ga. 648 ( 272 S.E.2d 348)). We are satisfied that the evidence adduced at trial was sufficient to enable any rational trier of fact to find guilt of the crime 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).

Judgment affirmed. Quillian, P. J., and Carley, J., concur.

DECIDED MARCH 12, 1984.
