APPEAL DISMISSED

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

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh, and Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W.
Elliott, of Columbia; and Solicitor Harold W. Gowdy, III, of Spartanburg, for
Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  A
jury found Earl Spencer guilty of three counts of first-degree criminal sexual
conduct.  Spencer argues the trial judge
erred in refusing to grant his motion for directed verdict.  He also filed a
pro se brief. After a
thorough review of the record and briefs 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 Spencer’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.[1] 

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HEARN, C.J., HUFF and GEATHERS, JJ., concur.

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