APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant Appellate Defender Robert M. Pachak, of Columbia,
for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster,  Chief Deputy
Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Charles
Richardson, all of Columbia;  and Solicitor Harold W. Gowdy, III, of Spartanburg,
for Rspondent.

PER CURIAM:  Jimark Geter appeals his convictions
for two counts of assault and battery with intent to kill.  The trial judge
sentenced Geter to eighteen years imprisonment for each charge.  The sentences
were to be served concurrently.

Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S.
738 (1967), counsel for Geter attached to the final brief a petition to be relieved
as counsel, stating he had reviewed the record and concluded Geter’s appeal
is without legal merit sufficient to warrant a new trial.  Geter did not file
a separate pro se response.

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.
