Appeal From Greenville County

John W. Kittredge, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2003-UP-311

February 20, 2003 – Filed May 6, 2003

APPEAL DISMISSED

Chief Attorney Daniel T. Stacey, of Columbia, for Appellant.

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

PER CURIAM: Lisa Shoemaker Baker was indicted by a
Greenville County grand jury for second degree arson.  Following a jury trial,
Baker was found guilty and sentenced to six years imprisonment. Baker’s counsel
attached to the final brief a petition to be relieved as counsel stating he
had reviewed the record and concluded the appeal lacked merit.  After a review
of 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] Baker’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be
relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

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

[1] Because oral argument would not aid the court in resolving
the issues on appeal, we decide this case without
oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
