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;

PER CURIAM: Ronell R. Brown was indicted for assault on a police officer
while resisting arrest.  He pled guilty to the charge.  The trial court sentenced
him to a youthful offender sentence not to exceed six years.  Brown’s counsel
attached to the final brief a petition to be relieved as counsel stating she
had reviewed the record and concluded the appeal lacked merit.  Brown did not
file a pro se response.  We dismiss pursuant to Anders v. California,
386 U.S. 738 (1967) and State v. Williams, 305 S.C. 116, 406 S.E.2d 357
(1991).  Counsel’s petition to be relieved is granted.1

APPEAL DISMISSED. 

HUFF, BEATTY, and KITTREDGE, JJ., concur.

to Rule 215, SCACR.
