v.

In the Interest of:  Nathan
S., a Minor under the age of Seventeen Appellant.

Appeal From York County

Barry W. Knobel,
Family Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2007-UP-424

Submitted October 1, 2007 – Filed October 8, 2007

APPEAL DISMISSED

Chief
Attorney Joseph L. Savitz, III, South Carolina Commission on Indigent Defense,  of
Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, Office
of the Attorney General, of Columbia; and Solicitor Christina T. Adams, of Anderson,
for Respondent.

PER
CURIAM:  Nathan S. appeals his guilty plea for possessing a
weapon on school grounds.  He asserts the adjudicatory judge erred by finding
he was delinquent because the State’s evidence did not establish the mens
rea necessary for a violation of the statute.  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] Nathan’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.
