 Lisa A. Kinon, Family Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2008-UP-504

Submitted September 2, 2008 – Filed

APPEAL DISMISSED

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

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, all
of Columbia; and Solicitor John Gregory Hembree, of Conway; for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: John S. appeals his conviction and sentence for
first-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor, arguing the family court
erred in denying his motion for a directed verdict
where there was insufficient evidence of guilt.  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] John S.’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

ANDERSON, WILLIAMS, and KONDUROS, JJ., concur.

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