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 North Charleston, for
Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Shirley G. Pelfini pleaded
nolo contendere to assault and battery upon an emergency medical
service provider.  Pelfini’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.  Pelfini filed 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.
