v.

Joseph
Stevenson, Appellant.

Appeal From Anderson County

 J. Cordell Maddox, Jr., Circuit Court
Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2009-UP-129

Submitted March 2, 2009 – Filed March 5,
2009   

APPEAL DISMISSED

Deputy Chief Appellate Defender Wanda H. Carter, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Assistant Chief Legal Counsel J. Benjamin Aplin, of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Joseph Ali Stevenson pled guilty to four counts of
forgery of less than $5,000 and one count each of petit larceny of less than
$1,000 and breaking into a motor vehicle.  He received concurrent sentences
totaling ten years’ imprisonment, suspended upon service of three years, with
five years’ probation.  Stevenson was arrested for violating the terms of his
probation, and the probation court revoked five years of his probation. 
Stevenson appeals, arguing the probation court erred in revoking his probation
without proof of the alleged violations.  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] Stevenson’s appeal and grant counsel’s petition to be relieved. 

APPEAL
DISMISSED.

Short, Thomas, and Geathers,
jj., concur.

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