54353.
    D. L. W. v. STATE OF GEORGIA.
   Webb, Judge.

This is an appeal from an order of commitment in the Juvenile Court of Cobb County resulting from a charge of criminal attempt to commit robbery. The sole enumeration of error is that the court erred in overruling the motion for directed verdict of acquittal.

"[I]n reviewing the overruling of a motion for directed verdict of acquittal we will utilize the standard used in reviewing the overruling of a motion for new trial on the ground that the verdict is contrary to the evidence; i.e., the 'any evidence’ test.” Bethay v. State, 235 Ga. 371, 375 (219 SE2d 743) (1975).

James F. Morris, Solicitor, for appellee.
