Unpublished Opinion No. 2003-UP-451

Submitted April 18, 2003 – Filed
July 1, 2003

APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant Appellate Defender Tara S. Taggart, of Columbia,
for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh and Assistant Deputy Attorney General Charles H. Richardson,
all of Columbia; and Solicitor Ralph E. Hoisington, of Charleston, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Shantone D. Curry was convicted
of two counts of armed robbery.  The judge sentenced him to seventeen years
on one count and ten years, concurrent, on the other count.  Curry’s appellate
counsel filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738
(1967).  Counsel additionally submitted a petition to be relieved from representation,
asserting there are no directly appealable issues of arguable merit.  Curry
did not file a pro se response with the Court.

After a review of the record pursuant to Anders
and State v. Williams, 305 S.C. 116, 406 S.E.2d 357 (1991), we dismiss
the appeal and grant counsel’s petition to be relieved.
