Opinion

38831.

DECIDED SEPTEMBER 8, 1982.

Murder, etc. Elbert Superior Court. Before Judge Bryant.

Floyd W. Keeble, Jr., for appellant.

J. Cleve Miller, District Attorney, Michael J. Bowers, Attorney General, Virginia H. Jeffries, Staff Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.


Appellant was convicted of murder, rape, and robbery and received sentences of life imprisonment for murder, life imprisonment for rape, and twenty years for robbery. His attorney filed a motion to withdraw as counsel pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 ( 87 S.C. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493) (1967). In accordance with Anders, counsel has filed a brief raising points of law which he thought could arguably support an appeal. We are in agreement with counsel that none of the points raised, though persuasively presented, has any merit. We have therefore granted the motion to withdraw.

In addition, we have fully examined the record and transcript to determine independently if there are any meritorious errors of law. We have found none. We are satisfied that the evidence produced at trial was sufficient to authorize any rational trier of fact to find appellant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of the crime charged. Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307 ( 99 S.C. 2781, 61 L.Ed.2d 560) (1979).

Judgment affirmed. All the Justices concur.
