    JONES v. THE STATE.
    Decided October 3, 1983.
    
      Hobart M. Hind, District Attorney, for appellee.
   Banke, Judge.

On appeal from the revocation of his probation, defendant’s appointed counsel has filed a motion to withdraw and supporting brief pursuant to Bethay v. State, 237 Ga. 625 (229 SE2d 406) (1976). After considering the points raised in the brief and conducting a thorough examination of the record and transcript to determine independently whether there is any ground for reversal, we are in agreement with counsel that there is no arguable merit to the appeal. Therefore, this court grants the motion to withdraw and affirms the revocation of probation. We are satisfied that the evidence before the trial court was sufficient to establish the defendant’s failure to abide by the requirements of his probation. See generally Smith v. State, 164 Ga. App. 384 (297 SE2d 738) (1982).

Judgment affirmed.

Deen, P. J., and Carley, J., concur.
