PER CURIAM: Christian Kelly Bryson appeals his convictions and
sentences for murder, armed robbery, and possession of a firearm during a
violent crime, arguing the trial court erred in not instructing the jury on
voluntary manslaughter.  Bryson filed a separate pro se brief.  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 the 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.
