DECIDED SEPTEMBER 4, 1980.
Theft by deception. Newton Superior Court. Before Judge Ellis.
Ben F. Hendricks, for appellant.
J. W. Morgan, District Attorney, Michael Walker, Assistant District Attorney, for appellee.
Appellant was convicted of theft by deception. After the appeal was filed with this court, his counsel filed a request for permission to withdraw from the case.
Appointed counsel is permitted to withdraw from a case on appeal only if he complies with the rules set forth in Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 ( 87 SC 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493) (1967). Bethay v. State, 237 Ga. 625 ( 229 S.E.2d 406) (1976). We find that all the Anders requirements have been met.
As required by Bethay, we have examined the entire record and transcript to determine whether the appeal is, in fact, frivolous. We find that it is. Accordingly, we grant counsel permission to withdraw and the appeal is dismissed.
Appeal dismissed. Birdsong and Sognier, JJ., concur.
