of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief
Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General

PER CURIAM:  Tyron Darnell Patterson pled guilty to
three counts of burglary first degree, kidnapping, and armed robbery. 
Patterson appeals his concurrent sentences of fifteen years on each charge. 
Patterson'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.  Patterson 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] the appeal and grant counsel's petition to be relieved.
