Opinion

66499.

DECIDED SEPTEMBER 9, 1983.

Burglary. Gwinnett Superior Court. Before Judge Pittard.

Norman Ray Smith, pro se. W. Bryant Huff, District Attorney, Genevieve L. Frazier, Assistant District Attorney, for appellee.


Appellant was convicted of two counts of burglary. He was sentenced to twenty-five years with fifteen years to be served in confinement. 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) (1967). In accordance with Anders, counsel has filed a brief raising points of law which he considers arguably could support an appeal. In his own behalf, appellant has set forth separate enumerations of error. 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 independently if there are any meritorious errors of law. We are in agreement with counsel that none of the points raised, though persuasively presented, has any merit nor does our independent examination disclose any errors of substance. Therefore, this court grants the motion to withdraw, and we affirm the conviction (see Snell v. State, 246 Ga. 648 ( 272 S.E.2d 348) (1980)). We are satisfied that the evidence adduced at trial was sufficient to enable any rational trier of fact to find guilt of the crimes charged beyond a reasonable doubt. Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307 (99 SC 2781, 61 L.Ed.2d 560) (1979); Baldwin v. State, 153 Ga. App. 35, 37 ( 264 S.E.2d 528) (1980).

Judgment affirmed. Quillian, P. J., and Sognier, J., concur.

DECIDED SEPTEMBER 9, 1983.
