Appeal From Anderson County

Alexander S. Macaulay, Circuit Court
Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2004-UP-516

Submitted October 1, 2004 – Filed October

APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant Appellate Defender Aileen P. Clare, of
Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan
McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney
General Salley W. Elliott, all of Columbia; and Solicitor Druanne D. White,
of Anderson, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Raymond Brewington appeals
his conviction for making a false claim to an insurance company about a proof
of fire loss.  Brewington argues the trial court erred in denying his motion
for a mistrial following testimony by an insurance company agent regarding the
company’s request for examinations of Brewington and his wife under oath. Brewington’s
counsel attached to the brief a petition to be relieved as counsel, stating
that she had reviewed the record and concluded this appeal lacks merit.  After
a thorough review of the record and counsel’s brief, 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 dismiss [1] Brewington’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion
to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HEARN, C.J., HUFF and KITTREDGE, JJ., concur.

[1] We decide this case without oral argument pursuant
to Rule 215, SCACR.
