Appellate Defender Robert M. Pachak, of
Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief

PER CURIAM: Seth Aaron Stearns was convicted of trafficking
in methamphetamine by conspiracy in an amount over 400 grams.  Stearns appeals
arguing the trial court erred in charging the jury that the testimony of an
accomplice need not be corroborated.  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
Stearn'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.
