Terrell v. State

Opinion

64196.

DECIDED JULY 7, 1982.

Rape, etc. Chatham Superior Court. Before Judge Brannen.

Stephen H. Harris, for appellant.

Spencer Lawton, Jr., District Attorney, David T. Lock, Assistant District Attorney, for appellee.


Michael Terrell appeals his conviction for rape and motor vehicle theft. His attorney filed a motion to withdraw as counsel pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 ( 87 SC 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493) and Bethay v. State, 237 Ga. 625 ( 229 S.E.2d 406). Appellant's counsel has filed a brief raising the point of error which he believed would arguably support an appeal, but concedes this point of error is disposed of in Baker v. State, 160 Ga. App. 211 ( 286 S.E.2d 458). We are in agreement with counsel that the appellant's appeal has no merit. We have fully examined the record and transcript to determine independently if there are any reversible errors of law, and we have found none. The evidence in this case was sufficient to authorize a rational trier of fact to find the appellant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307 (99 SC 2781, 61 L.Ed.2d 560); Boyd v. State, 244 Ga. 130, 132 ( 259 S.E.2d 71). We grant the attorney's motion to withdraw.

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

DECIDED JULY 7, 1982.
