Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott; all
of Columbia; and Solicitor Donald V. Myers, of Lexington, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Lakeisha
Russell appeals her sentence for armed robbery and assault and battery with
intent to kill.  On appeal, Russell argues her sentence is unconstitutionally
disproportionate and constitutes cruel and unusual punishment.  Russell also
asserts numerous pro se arguments. After a thorough review of the record, counsel’s brief, and Russell’s pro se 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] Russell’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL
DISMISSED.

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

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