APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender LaNelle C. DuRant, of Columbia, for Appellant. 

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh, and Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W.
Elliott, all of Columbia; and Solicitor Barbara R Morgan, of Aiken, for
Respondent.

PER
CURIAM:  William Earl
Moore was convicted of three counts of incest and sentenced to a total of
twenty years' imprisonment.  Moore appeals, arguing the trial court erred in
admitting testimony that he committed incest with the same victim during the
three years preceding those for which he was indicted.  After thoroughly
reviewing 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] Moore's appeal and grant counsel's motion to be relieved.

APPEAL
DISMISSED.

WILLIAMS,
PIEPER, and LOCKEMY, JJ., concur.

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