Williams v. State (227 So. 2d 48, 1969)

PER CURIAM.

This court, proceeding in the manner outlined and recommended by the Supreme Court of the United States in Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 744, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.Zd 493, having deferred ruling on a motion of the public defender to withdraw as counsel for the indigent defendant-appellant, and having furnished appellant with a copy of the public defender’s memorandum brief, and having allowed the appellant a reasonable specified time within which to raise any points that he chose in support of his appeal and the appellant having failed to respond thereto, on consideration thereof upon full examination of the proceedings we conclude that the appeal is wholly frivolous. Whereupon, the public defender’s said motion to withdraw is granted, and the order or judgment appealed is hereby affirmed.

ON REHEARING

PER CURIAM.

The appellant has filed a “Motion of Inquiry” which we have treated as a petition for rehearing addressed to our opinion filed in this cause on September 30, 1969. We have carefully considered appellant’s petition and his brief and have concluded that we were correct in holding that appellant’s appeal was wholly frivolous. Our opinion heretofore filed is therefore adhered to.
