APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender Robert M. Pachak, 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: Eric Mance was convicted of assault and
battery with intent to kill, armed robbery, and possession of a pistol by a
person convicted of a violent crime. Mance appeals arguing the trial court
erred in admitting statements he made several weeks prior to the robbery and
shooting.  After a thorough review of the record and both briefs 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 Mance's appeal and grant counsel's
motion to be relieved.[1] 

APPEAL
DISMISSED.

WILLIAMS,
PIEPER, and LOCKEMY, JJ., concur. 

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