Carithers v. State

Sognier, Judge. Appellant’s probation was revoked as a result of his commission of simple battery on a police officer, and he was ordered to serve the [111] remainder of a 10-year sentence for burglary, five years of which had been probated. His attorney 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 could arguably support an appeal. We are in agreement with counsel that none of the points raised, though persuasively presented, have any merit. We have therefore granted the motion to withdraw. In addition, we have fully examined the record and transcript to determine independently if there are any meritorious errors of law. We have found none. We are satisfied that the evidence produced at the hearing was sufficient to authorize revocation of appellant’s probation. Jones v. State, 153 Ga. App. 411, 412 (265 SE2d 334) (1980). Decided January 28, 1982. Jeffrey R. Sliz, for appellant. J. W. Morgan, District Attorney, for appellee. Judgment affirmed. Shulman, P. J., and Birdsong, J., concur.
