Summary of this case from Boyd v. TTI Floorcare N. Am.

Opinion

65057.

DECIDED OCTOBER 14, 1982.

Drug violation. Tift Superior Court. Before Judge Crosby.

David E. Perry, for appellant.

Thomas H. Pittman, District Attorney, for appellee.


Defendant appeals his conviction for the sale of cocaine. 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 grants 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 crime 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. Shulman, P. J., and Carley, J., concur.

DECIDED OCTOBER 14, 1982.
