Walker v. State
Georgia Court of Appeals · Decided December 28, 2011 · Smith, Mikell, Dillard
721 S.E.2d 661; 313 Ga. App. 454; 2012 Fulton County D. Rep. 118; 2011 Ga. App. LEXIS 1128 (South Eastern Reporter, Second Series)

Walker v. State

Opinion

SMITH, Presiding Judge.

Wendell D. Walker was convicted of possession of cocaine with intent to distribute. His motion for new trial was denied, and he appeals, asserting only the general grounds.

Walker’s perfunctory appellate brief contains less than three pages of argument in which he recites no facts, references no testimony or evidence, and simply lists a series of cases referring to the general standard of review and burden of proof in sufficiency cases. This brief is completely inadequate to support Walker’s claim of error. See Court of Appeals Rule 25 (c).

Nevertheless, we have reviewed the record on appeal and find the evidence sufficient to uphold Walker’s conviction under the standard established in Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U. S. 307 (99 SC 2781, 61 LE2d 560) (1979). Accord White v. State, 310 Ga. App. 386, 389-390 (2) (a) (714 SE2d 31) (2011).

Judgment affirmed.

Mikell, C. J., and Dillard, J., concur.
