308 S.E.2d 615 (Ga. Ct. App. 1983)

Opinion

66979.

DECIDED SEPTEMBER 26, 1983.

Drug violation. Colquitt Superior Court. Before Judge Lilly.

H. Lamar Cole, District Attorney, James B. Thagard, Assistant District Attorney, for appellee.


Defendant appeals his conviction for violation of the Georgia Controlled Substances Act. 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). In accordance with Anders, counsel has filed a brief raising points of law which he considered arguably could support an appeal. In addition, as required by Bethay v. State, 237 Ga. 625 ( 229 S.E.2d 406), 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 the points raised are not meritorious and an independent examination discloses no errors of any substance. Therefore, this court has granted the motion to withdraw and we affirm the conviction. The evidence adduced at trial was sufficient to enable a rational trier of fact to find the defendant's guilt of the crimes charged beyond a reasonable doubt. Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307 (99 SC 2781, 61 L.Ed.2d 560); Baldwin v. State, 153 Ga. App. 35, 37 ( 264 S.E.2d 528).

Judgment affirmed. Sognier and Pope, JJ., concur.

DECIDED SEPTEMBER 26, 1983.
