v.

Richard G. Jordan, Appellant.

Appeal From Richland County

G. Thomas Cooper, Jr., Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2007-UP-216

Submitted May 1, 2007 – Filed May 11, 2007

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; and Solicitor Warren Blair Giese, all of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Richard Jordan appeals his convictions and sentences for trafficking in methamphetamine and possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine.  Counsel for Jordan attached to the final brief a petition to be relieved as counsel.  Jordan 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 Jordan’s appeal and grant counsel’s petition to be relieved.[1]

APPEAL DISMISSED.

STILWELL, SHORT, and WILLIAMS, JJ., concur. 

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