302 S.E.2d 120 (Ga. Ct. App. 1983)

Opinion

65123.

DECIDED FEBRUARY 18, 1983.

Arson. Troup Superior Court. Before Judge Smith.

Curtis Spradlin, pro se. Arthur E. Mallory III, District Attorney, for appellee.


Appellant was convicted of arson and sentenced to 15 years of imprisonment. 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 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 independently if there are any meritorious errors of law. We are in agreement with counsel that none of the points raised, though persuasively presented, have 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 crime charged beyond reasonable doubt. Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307 (99 SC 2781, 61 L.Ed.2d 560) (1979).

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

DECIDED FEBRUARY 18, 1983.
