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 Warren B. Giese, of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Alfred Palmer was indicted for
trafficking in cocaine 400 grams or more.  The jury found him guilty.  The judge
sentenced him to thirty years.  Palmer’s 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.  Palmer 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.
