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 and Assistant Deputy Attorney General Charles H. Richardson,
all of Columbia; and Solicitor Donald V. Myers, of Lexington, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Doris Kirby Thomas pled guilty
to assault and battery with intent to kill.  She was sentenced to fifteen years
of imprisonment.  Thomas’ appellate counsel filed a brief pursuant to Anders
v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).  Counsel additionally submitted a petition
to be relieved from representation, asserting there are no directly appealable
issues of arguable merit.  Thomas filed a pro se response with
the Court.

After a 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.
