WILLIAMS v. THE STATE.

MARSHALL, Justice.

Appellant was convicted of murder in the Superior Court of Clarke County and was sentenced to life imprisonment. After the appeal was filed in this court, appellant's appointed counsel filed a request for permission to withdraw for the case.

In Bethay v. State, 237 Ga. 625 ( 229 S.E.2d 406) (1976), we held that appointed counsel may withdraw from a case on appeal only upon compliance with the rules set out in Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 ( 87 S.C. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493) (1966). See also Hill v. State, 238 Ga. 564 ( 233 S.E.2d 796) (1977). We find that all of the Anders requirements have been met.

As required by our decision in Bethay, we have fully examined the record and transcript to determine whether, in fact, the appeal is frivolous. We find that it is. Accordingly, counsel is granted permission to withdraw and the appeal is dismissed.

Appeal dismissed. All the Justices concur.

MARSHALL, Justice.

DECIDED APRIL 17, 1979.
