282 S.E.2d 225
61791.Court of Appeals of Georgia.
DECIDED MAY 28, 1981.
SOGNIER, Judge.
Appellant was convicted of voluntary manslaughter and was sentenced to confinement for 20 years. 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 which she considered arguably could support an appeal. In addition, as required by Bethay v. State, 237 Ga. 625 (229 S.E.2d 406), we have examined fully the record and transcript to determine independently if there are any meritorious errors of law. We are in agreement with counsel that no point raised, though presented persuasively, has any merit, nor does our independent examination disclose any errors of substance. Therefore, this court earlier granted the motion to withdraw, and we now affirm the conviction (see Snell v. State, 246 Ga. 648 (272 S.E.2d 348)). We are satisfied that the evidence adduced at trial was sufficient to enable any rational trier of fact to find guilt of the offense 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 Birdsong, J., concur.
DECIDED MAY 28, 1981.
