Pope, Judge.

Appellant-defendant was ordered by this court on March 20, 1989, to file ‍‌​‌​​​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​​​​​​​‌​​​‌​​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​​​​‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌​​​​‍a brief and enumerations of error. To date, he has failed to do so.

1. Notwithstanding defendant’s failure to comply with the rules and order ‍‌​‌​​​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​​​​​​​‌​​​‌​​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​​​​‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌​​​​‍of this court, we decline to dismiss his appeal, but instead we will review the record and transcript and make a decision based upon the ‍‌​‌​​​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​​​​​​​‌​​​‌​​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​​​​‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌​​​​‍merits of the case. Conyers v. State, 183 Ga. App. 591 (1) (359 SE2d 454) (1987).

2. Defendant was convicted on two counts of selling cocaine to an ‍‌​‌​​​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​​​​​​​‌​​​‌​​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​​​​‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌​​​​‍undercover GBI agent. In each instance, the buy was made in daylight and the agent positively identified defendant. We have reviewed carefully the record ‍‌​‌​​​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​​​​​​​‌​​​‌​​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​​​​‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌​​​​‍and transcript and find no error.

Judgment affirmed.

Banke, P. J., and Sognier, J., concur.
