Appellate Defender Lanelle C. Durant, of Columbia, for Appellant.

General John W. McIntosh, Asst. Deputy Atty. Gen. Salley W. Elliott, and
Solicitor Warren Blair Giese, all of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Moses
Ellison appeals from his
guilty plea to strong arm robbery.  The plea judge sentenced Ellison to ten
years suspended to time served and two years probation which could terminate
upon the completion of one hundred fifty hours of community service.  Ellison’s
counsel attached a petition to be relieved, stating she reviewed the record and
concluded this appeal lacks merit.  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.

HEARN, C.J., CURETON and GOOLSBY, A.J.J., concur.

pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
