v.

Levardis Holiday,       
Appellant.

Appeal From Laurens County

James W. Johnson, Jr., Circuit Court
Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2003-UP-229

Submitted January 29, 2003 - March 26,
2003 

APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant Appellate Defender Eleanor Duffy Cleary, of Columbia,
of Laurens; for Appellant.

Legal Counsel Tommy Evans, Jr.; Legal Counsel J. Benjamin
Aplin; Deputy Director for Legal Services Teresa A. Knox, of Columbia; for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Levardis Holiday appeals the
revocation of six months of his probation.  Holiday’s appellate counsel has
petitioned to be relieved as counsel, stating he has reviewed the record and
has concluded Holiday’s appeal is without merit.  The issue briefed by counsel
concerns whether the trial court judge abused his discretion in revoking Holiday’s
probation.  Holiday has not filed any materials on his own behalf.

After a review of the record as required by Anders
v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and State v. Williams, 305 S.C.
116, 406 S.E.2d 357 (1991), we hold there are no directly appealable issues
that are arguable on their merits.  Accordingly, we dismiss Holiday’s appeal
and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved. [1]

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HEARN, C.J., and GOOLSBY and SHULER,
JJ., concur.

[1]   Because oral argument would not aid the court
in resolving the issues on appeal, we decide this case without oral argument
pursuant to Rules 215 and 220(b)(2), SCACR.
