Opinion

66311.

DECIDED JUNE 29, 1983.

Aggravated sodomy, etc. Thomas Superior Court. Before Judge Lilly.

Harrison Woodall, pro se. H. Lamar Cole, District Attorney, James E. Hardy, Assistant District Attorney, for appellee.


Harrison Woodall was convicted of aggravated sodomy, rape, and assault and sentenced to two consecutive life terms and twelve months concurrent therewith. 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 raising points of law which he considered arguably could support an appeal. In addition, as required by Bethay v. State, 237 Ga. 625 ( 229 S.E.2d 406), we have fully examined the record and transcript to determine independently if there are any meritorious errors of law. We are in agreement with counsel that the point raised, though persuasively presented, has no merit nor does our independent examination disclose any errors of substance. Appellant has offered no objection to this motion, nor additional argument. Therefore, this court having previously granted the motion to withdraw, 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 Woodall mentally responsible for his acts and thus guilty of the crimes charged beyond 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, C. J., and McMurray, P. J., concur.

DECIDED JUNE 29, 1983.
