J. Derham Cole, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No.  2012-UP-158

7, 2012 

APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender Wanda H. Carter, 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 Barry J. Barnette, of Spartanburg,
for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Donald
Scott Jones appeals his convictions, arguing the circuit court
erred in excluding evidence of the victim's propensity for anger.  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.
