Williams v. State

Court of Appeals of Georgia

Opinion

63828.

DECIDED MAY 25, 1982.

Probation revocation. Ware Superior Court. Before Judge Hodges.

C. Deen Strickland, District Attorney, Charles C. Grile, Assistant District Attorney, for appellee.


Curtis Arthur Williams was convicted of burglary and sentenced to ten years, three to serve and seven on probation. He was subsequently released on probation. Following a revocation of probation hearing, the probation was vacated and the appellant sentenced to serve the unexpired portion of the original sentence. 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, though persuasively presented, have no merit nor does our independent examination disclose any errors of substance. Appellant has offered no objection to this motion, nor additional argument. Therefore, this court having granted the motion to withdraw, we now affirm the conviction (see Snell v. State, 246 Ga. 648 ( 272 S.E.2d 348); Avery v. State, 161 Ga. App. 229 ( 288 S.E.2d 298)). We are satisfied that the evidence adduced at trial, though circumstantial, was sufficient to enable any rational trier of fact to find that Williams in several particulars violated the terms of his probation beyond 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. McMurray, P. J., and Banke, J., concur.

DECIDED MAY 25, 1982.
