158 Ga. App. 745 (Ga. Ct. App. 1981)

Opinion

61790.

DECIDED JUNE 4, 1981.

Armed robbery. Chatham Superior Court. Before Judge Oliver.

Clark Smith, for appellant.

Spencer J. Lawton, Jr., District Attorney, Robert M. Hitch III, Assistant District Attorney, for appellee.


Appellant was convicted of theft by taking and theft by receiving stolen property. His appointed counsel has filed a motion to withdraw 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 arguably could support the 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 any errors of law occurred. We agree with counsel that the points raised are without merit and our independent examination discloses no occurrence of any errors requiring reversal. Accordingly, we grant counsel's motion to withdraw and affirm appellant's conviction. See Snell v. State, 246 Ga. 648 ( 272 S.E.2d 348) (1980). After a review of the entire record, we find that a rational trior 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); Baldwin v. State, 153 Ga. App. 35, 37 ( 264 S.E.2d 528) (1980).

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

DECIDED JUNE 4, 1981.
