Unpublished Opinion No. 2006-UP-249

Submitted May 1, 2006 – Filed May 18, 2006  

APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant Appellate Defender Tara S. Taggart, Office of Appellate Defense, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliot, Office of the Attorney General, all of Columbia; and Solicitor Jerry W. Peace of Newberry, for Respondent. 

PER CURIAM:  A Newberry County jury convicted Latesha Fleming of unlawful conduct towards a child and infliction or allowing infliction of great bodily injury upon a child.  The trial court sentenced her to twenty years in prison for the infliction of great bodily injury on a child and ten years for the unlawful conduct charge, to run concurrently. Fleming appeals, arguing the trial court erred in denying her motion for a directed verdict.  Fleming did not file a pro se brief.  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] Fleming’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

KITTREDGE, SHORT, and WILLIAMS, JJ., concur.

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