BRIDGES v. THE STATE.

QUILLIAN, Presiding Judge.

The defendant appeals his conviction for forgery. Held:

1. "`[A] preliminary hearing is not a required step in a felony prosecution and ... once an indictment is obtained there is no judicial oversight or review of the decision to prosecute because of any failure to hold a commitment hearing ... [I]n no event will we overturn a conviction on direct appeal or on collateral attack because a commitment hearing was denied appellant.'" Natson v. State, 242 Ga. 618, 622 (3) ( 250 S.E.2d 420); White v. State, 147 Ga. App. 260 (4) ( 248 S.E.2d 540).

2. After a review of the record it is evident that a rational trier of fact could reasonably have found from the evidence proof of the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307 (99 SC 2781, 61 L.Ed.2d 560).

Judgment affirmed. Shulman and Carley, JJ., concur.

QUILLIAN, Presiding Judge.
