Harris v. State

288 S.E.2d 372, 159 Ga. App. 873, 1981 Ga. App. LEXIS 2911

Opinion

Quillian, Chief Judge.

The defendant, Richard Harris, was convicted of motor vehicle theft, aggravated assault, and burglary and was sentenced to twenty years of confinement. His appointed attorney has filed a motion to withdraw as counsel pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U. S. 738 (87 SC 1396, 18 LE2d 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 SE2d 406), we have fully examined the record and transcript to determine independently if there are any meritorious errors of law. We agree with counsel that none of the points raised have merit nor does our independent examination disclose any error. Therefore, this court has granted counsel’s motion to withdraw, and we affirm the conviction. We are satisfied that the evidence presented at trial was sufficient to enable a rational trier of fact to find the guilt of defendant for the crimes charged beyond a reasonable doubt. Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U. S. 307 (99 SC 2781, 61 LE2d 560).
