302 S.E.2d 737

HANDY v. THE STATE.

65464.Court of Appeals of Georgia.
DECIDED MARCH 17, 1983.

POPE, Judge.

Appellant was convicted of robbery and sentenced to 20 years imprisonment. His appointed attorney has filed a motion to withdraw as counsel on appeal pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (87 SC 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493) (1967). Counsel has filed a brief in accordance with Anders raising any points of law which he considers might arguably support an appeal. As required b Bethay v. State, 237 Ga. 625 (229 S.E.2d 406) (1976), we have examined the record and transcript to determine independently if there are any meritorious errors of law. We agree that while the conflicting evidence may not have demanded a verdict of guilty, it clearly did not demand a verdict of acquittal, and our independent review discloses no errors of substance. Therefore, this court grants the motion to withdraw and we affirm the conviction. See Snell v. State, 246 Ga. 648 (272 S.E.2d 348) (1980). We are satisfied that the evidence adduced at trial was sufficient to enable any rational trier of fact to find guilt of the crime charged beyond a reasonable doubt. Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307 (99 SC 2781, 61 L.Ed.2d 560) (1979).

Judgment affirmed. Quillian, P. J., and Sognier, J., concur.

DECIDED MARCH 17, 1983.
