Opinion

59485.

SUBMITTED FEBRUARY 5, 1980.

DECIDED FEBRUARY 20, 1980.

Forgery. Gwinnett Superior Court. Before Judge Merritt.

Macklyn A. Smith, for appellant.

William B. Huff, District Attorney, Gerald W. Brown, Assistant District Attorney, for appellee.

BANKE, Judge.

The appellant was convicted of forgery upon more than ample evidence. Appointed counsel for the appellant has moved to withdraw as counsel and asks that the appeal be dismissed. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 ( 87 SC 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493) (1966). We have carefully examined the record and transcript and are satisfied the appeal is frivolous. Accordingly, counsel is granted permission to withdraw as the appeal is dismissed. Bethay v. State, 237 Ga. 625 ( 229 S.E.2d 406) (1976).

Appeal dismissed. McMurray, P. J., and Smith, J., concur.

BANKE, Judge.

SUBMITTED FEBRUARY 5, 1980 — DECIDED FEBRUARY 20, 1980.
