for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Donald J. Zelenka,
of Columbia; William Townes Jones, of Greenwood; for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: George Trevino was convicted
of voluntary manslaughter and possession of a firearm during the commission
of a violent crime.  He received concurrent sentences of twenty-eight years
imprisonment for manslaughter and five years for the weapons charge.  Trevino
appeals, arguing the trial judge issued improper jury instructions.  Appellate
counsel has filed a final brief and a petition to be relieved.  Trevino did
not file a pro se response.

After a thorough review of the record on appeal
pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and State v.
Williams, 305 S.C. 116, 406 S.E.2d 357 (1991), we grant counsel’s petition
and dismiss the appeal.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
