APPEAL DISMISSED

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

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy
Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Charles
H. Richardson, of Columbia; Solicitor Warren Blair Giese, of Columbia; for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Valentino M.H., a minor, pled
guilty to criminal sexual conduct in the second degree.  He was committed to
the Department of Juvenile Justice, suspended upon an indeterminate sentence
and placement at a treatment facility.  He was also required to register as
a sex offender.  Valentino appeals, arguing the lower court violated the due
process clause by requiring him to register as a sex offender.  Appellate counsel
has filed a final brief accompanied by a petition to be relieved.  Valentino
has not filed a pro se response brief. 

After a thorough review of the record on appeal
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 grant counsel’s petition
and dismiss the appeal.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HEARN, C.J., GOOLSBY, and SHULER, JJ., concur.
