DECIDED SEPTEMBER 8, 1983.

Voluntary manslaughter. Bibb Superior Court. Before Judge Morgan.

Willis B. Sparks III, District Attorney, for appellee.

POPE, Judge.

Defendant was indicted and tried for murder. He was convicted of voluntary manslaughter and sentenced to fifteen years, to serve twelve. His appointed counsel has filed an Anders motion and the requisite brief, submitting that no errors of substance were committed in the trial of the case. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 ( 87 SC 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493) (1967). We have independently reviewed the record and transcript in accordance with Bethay v. State, 237 Ga. 625 ( 229 S.E.2d 406) (1976), and we agree with counsel that defendant was given a fair trial. Furthermore, we are satisfied that the conviction is amply supported by the evidence. See Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307 (99 SC 2781, 61 L.Ed.2d 560) (1979). We therefore grant counsel's motion to withdraw and we affirm the conviction. Spradlin v. State, 165 Ga. App. 475 ( 302 S.E.2d 120) (1983). Judgment affirmed. Quillian, P. J., and Sognier, J., concur.
