Appeal From Georgetown County

Paula H. Thomas, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2003-UP-050

Submitted November 20, 2002 – Filed
January 16, 2003   

APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant Appellate Defender Aileen P. Clare, of Columbia;
for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster; Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh; Assistant Deputy Attorney General Charles H. Richardson,
all of Columbia; John Gregory Hembree, of Conway; for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Jihad Nicklson appeals his
guilty plea to two counts of second-degree burglary.  Counsel for Nicklson attached
to the final brief a petition to be relieved as counsel.  Nicklson did not file
a separate pro se response. 

After a review of the record as required
by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967) and State v. Williams,
305 S.C. 116, 406 S.E.2d 357 (1991), we hold there are no directly appealable
issues that are arguable on their merits.  Accordingly, we dismiss Nicklson’s
appeal and grant counsel’s petition to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

CONNOR, STILWELL, and HOWARD, JJ.,
concur.
