APPEAL DISMISSED

Chief Appellate Defender Joseph L. Savitz, III, of Columbia, for
Appellant.

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

PER CURIAM:  Jabbar Jomo Straws appeals his
convictions for armed robbery, two counts of kidnapping, two counts of assault
and battery with the intent to kill, and possession of a weapon during the
commission of a violent crime.  On appeal, his counsel argues the trial court
erred by denying his directed verdict motion.  Straws also filed a pro se
brief.  After a thorough review of the record, counsel's brief, and Straws' 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 the appeal and
grant counsel's motion to be relieved.[1]

APPEAL
DISMISSED. 

HEARN, C.J., and KONDUROS and LOCKEMY, JJ., concur.

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