Finney v. State
Finney v. State
Opinion of the Court
Tolbert Legran Finney was convicted of burglary and sentenced to 9-1/2 years, 2-1/2 to serve and 7 on probation. Upon release from confinement, Finney committed three violations of the terms of his probation by (1) failing to notify his probation officer of a move or his new address, (2) violated the law of a public agency by being drunk in public, and (3) by drinking intoxicants. The trial court vacated three years of the remainder of Finney’s term of probation, ordering his confinement followed by further probation. His appointed attorney has 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 arguably could support an appeal. In addition, as required by Bethay v. State, 237 Ga. 625 (229 SE2d 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 (cruel and unusual punishment),
Judgment affirmed.
