Unpublished Opinion No. 2004-UP-090

Submitted December 23, 2003 – Filed February 13, 2004

APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant Appellate Defender Robert M. Pachak, of
SC Office of Appellate Defense, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Teresa A. Knox, Deputy Director for Legal Services,
Tommy Evans Legal Counsel, and J. Benjamin Aplin, Legal Counsel, South Carolina
Department of Probation, Parole and Pardon Services, all of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Wayne Franklin Blackwell appeals
an order revoking his probation.  His counsel attached to the final brief of
the appellant a petition to be relieved as counsel, stating he had reviewed
the record of the probation revocation hearing and concluded Blackwell’s appeal
is without merit.  Blackwell did not file a pro se response.

After a review of the record pursuant to Anders
v. California [1]
and State v. Williams, [2] we dismiss Blackwell’s appeal and
grant counsel’s petition to be relieved.

[2] 305 S.C. 116 (1991).

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