APPEAL DISMISSED

Acting Chief Appellate Attorney Robert M.
Dudek, of Columbia, for Appellant.

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

PER CURIAM: Trico
D. Thompson appeals his convictions for murder and possession of a firearm
during the commission of a violent crime.  On appeal, Thompson argues the trial
court erred in allowing the pathologist to demonstrate how the victim may have
been shot.  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] the appeal and grant counsel's motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

SHORT, THOMAS, and
KONDUROS, JJ., concur.

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