Opinion

61531.

DECIDED APRIL 7, 1981.

Aggravated assault. Clarke Superior Court. Before Judge Barrow.

Harry N. Gordon, District Attorney, for appellee.


Appellant was convicted of aggravated assault and pled guilty to being a recidivist. He was sentenced to ten years, the first nine years to be served in confinement and the balance to be served on probation. His court 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) (1967). 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 if there are any meritorious errors of law. We are in agreement with counsel that none of the points raised have any merit nor does our independent examination disclose any errors of substance. We therefore grant the motion to withdraw and affirm the conviction. The evidence adduced at trial was sufficient to enable any rational trier of fact to find appellant guilty of the crimes charged beyond a reasonable doubt. Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307 (99 SC 2781, 61 L.Ed.2d 560) (1979).

Judgment affirmed. Quillian, C. J., and McMurray, P. J., concur.

DECIDED APRIL 7, 1981.
