The State, Respondent,

v.

Kevin McMeans, Appellant.

Appeal From Greenwood County

 Wyatt T. Saunders, Jr, Circuit Court
Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2008-UP-034

Submitted January 1, 2008 – Filed January
11, 2008  

APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant
Appellate Defender Eleanor Duffy Cleary, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Deputy Director for Legal Services Teresa A. Knox,   Legal Counsel
Tommy Evans, Jr., and Legal Counsel J. Benjamin Aplin, all of Columbia, for
Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Kevin McMeans appeals the revocation of his suspended
sentence.  McMeans argues the circuit court committed an abuse of discretion by
revoking his suspended sentence because the court ignored his justifiable
explanations for his violations.  McMeans’s counsel attached to the brief a petition to be relieved
as counsel, stating that she had reviewed the record and concluded this appeal
lacks merit.  McMeans did not file a separate pro se brief.  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] McMeans’ appeal and grant counsel’s petition to be relieved.

APPEAL
DISMISSED.

HUFF and PIEPER, JJ., and GOOLSBY, A.J., concur.

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