Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General

PER CURIAM: Van
Starling appeals his convictions for assault and battery of a high and
aggravated nature and resisting arrest.  On appeal, Starling argues the trial
court erred in increasing his original sentence in violation of the double
jeopardy clause.  After a

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.

KONDUROS,
GEATHERS, and LOCKEMY, JJ., concur.

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