Appeal From Charleston County

James C. Williams, Jr., Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2011-UP-271

Submitted May 1, 2011 – Filed June 8, 2011 

APPEAL DISMISSED

Senior Appellate Defender Joseph L. Savitz, III, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Alan Wilson, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, and Assistant Deputy Attorney General Donald J. Zelenka, all of
Columbia; and Solicitor Scarlett Anne Wilson, of Charleston, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Shawn Phillips appeals his convictions for murder, armed robbery, and criminal conspiracy.  On appeal, his counsel argues the
trial court erred in declining to instruct the jury on mere presence. Additionally, Phillips filed a pro se brief.  After a thorough review of the record
and all 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.

FEW, C.J., KONDUROS, J., and CURETON, A.J., concur.

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