280 S.E.2d 897 (Ga. Ct. App. 1981)

Opinion

61809.

DECIDED MAY 6, 1981.

Aggravated assault. Crisp Superior Court. Before Judge Gregory.

Gary C. Christy, District Attorney, James Turk, Assistant District Attorney, for appellee.


Appellant was convicted of aggravated assault upon two police officers and was sentenced to confinement for nine years. 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 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 examined fully the record and transcript to determine independently if there are any meritorious errors of law. We are in agreement with counsel that the issue raised, though presented persuasively, has no merit, nor does our independent examination disclose any errors of substance. Therefore, this court earlier granted the motion to withdraw, and 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. Shulman, P. J., and Birdsong, J., concur.

DECIDED MAY 6, 1981.
