The State, Respondent,

v.

Stephen Ray
Smith, Appellant.

Appeal From Anderson County

John C. Hayes, III, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2009-UP-025

Submitted January 2, 2009 – Filed January
13, 2009

APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender Robert M. Pachak, of Columbia,  for Appellant.

Legal Counsel Tommy Evans, Jr., and Assistant Chief Legal Counsel
J. Benjamin Aplin, of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Stephen Ray Smith appeals his probation revocation and
resulting eight year sentence.  Smith’s counsel argues the probation revocation
was so summary the record is insufficient for review.  Smith filed a pro se
brief, arguing ineffective assistance of counsel.   After a thorough review of the record and both 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 Smith’s appeal
and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved. [1]

APPEAL
DISMISSED. 

HUFF,
THOMAS, and LOCKEMY, JJ., concur. 

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