Drayton v. State

Court of Appeals of Georgia

278 S.E.2d 745 (Ga. Ct. App. 1981)

Opinion

61610.

DECIDED MARCH 11, 1981.

Burglary. Troup Superior Court. Before Judge Smith.

Louis J. Kirby, for appellant.

Arthur E. Mallory III, District Attorney, for appellee.


This is an appeal from appellant's conviction of burglary. Appellant's appointed counsel has filed a motion in this court requesting permission to withdraw from the case. Pursuant to the rulings in Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 ( 87 SC 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493) (1966), and Bethay v. State, 237 Ga. 625 ( 229 S.E.2d 406) (1976), we have conducted an examination of the record and transcript filed in this case in order to determine if the appeal is, in fact, frivolous. Based upon that review of the record, we find that the requirements of Anders and Bethay have been met and, therefore, appellant's counsel is granted permission to withdraw.

Furthermore, our thorough review of the record and transcript reveals no basis whatever for reversal of the judgment entered on the jury verdict. We conclude that a rational trier of fact could reasonably have found from the evidence adduced at trial proof of appellant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307 (99 SC 2781, 61 L.Ed.2d 560) (1979); Stanley v. State, 156 Ga. App. 116 ( 274 S.E.2d 165) (1980).

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