The State, Respondent,

v.

Russell L. Holley, Appellant.

Appeal From York County

 Lee S. Alford, Circuit Court Judge

Opinion No. 2004-UP-468

Submitted September 15, 2004 – Filed September 16, 2004

APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant Appellate Defender Robert M. Dudek, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General
John W. McIntosh, and Assistant Deputy Attorney General Donald J. Zelenka,
all of Columbia, and Solicitor Thomas E. Pope, of York, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Russell L. Holley appeals his
convictions and sentences for murder and assault and battery of a high and aggravated
nature.  Counsel for Holley attached to the final brief a petition to be relieved
as counsel.  Holley filed a separate pro se response. 

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 Holley’s appeal and grant counsel’s petition
to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

STILWELL, BEATTY, and SHORT, JJ., concur.
