Appeal From Darlington County

Ralph King Anderson, Jr., Circuit Court
Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2012-UP-201

Submitted March 1, 2012 – Filed March 21,
2012   

APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender Kathrine H. Hudgins, of
Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Alan Wilson, Chief Deputy
Attorney General John W. McIntosh, and Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley
W. Elliott, all of Columbia; and Solicitor William B. Rogers, Jr., of
Bennettsville, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Shenard Abraham appeals his conviction
for assault and battery with intent to kill, arguing the trial court erred in
denying his motion for a directed verdict.  Specifically, Abraham contends he
acted in self-defense as a matter of law.  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[1] the
appeal and grant counsel's motion to be relieved.

APPEAL
DISMISSED.

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

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