Unpublished Opinion No. 2012-UP-199

Submitted March 1, 2012 – Filed March 21,

APPEAL DISMISSED

Chief Appellate Defender Robert M. Dudek, 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 Ernest A. Finney, III, of Sumter,
for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Javon
Lamont Rivers appeals his convictions for murder and possession of a
firearm during the commission of a violent crime, arguing the circuit court
erred in giving a supplemental instruction to the jury regarding the lesser
included offense of involuntary manslaughter.  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 the appeal and grant counsel's motion to be relieved.[1]

APPEAL DISMISSED. 

WILLIAMS, THOMAS, and
LOCKEMY, JJ., concur.

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