Opinion No.  2003-UP-65

Submitted November 20, 2002 - Filed

APPEAL DISMISSED

Senior Assistant Appellate Defender Wanda H. Haile, of Columbia;
for Appellant

Attorney General Henry D. McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh, and Assistant Deputy Attorney General Charles H. Richardson,
all of Columbia; and Solicitor Robert M. Ariail, of Greenville; for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Curtis Lamar King appeals his
convictions for armed robbery and attempted armed robbery.  The trial judge
sentenced King to twenty-five years imprisonment for armed robbery and a concurrent
twenty-year term of imprisonment for attempted armed robbery.  

Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S.
738 (1967), counsel for King attached to the final brief a petition to be relieved
as counsel, stating she had reviewed the record and concluded King’s appeal
is without legal merit sufficient to warrant a new trial.  King filed a separate
pro se response brief.

After a thorough review of the record pursuant
to Anders and State v. Williams, 305 S.C. 116, 406 S.E.2d 357
(1991), we dismiss the appeal and grant counsel’s petition to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
