v.

Russell LaBoone,       
Appellant.

Appeal From Pickens County

John C. Few, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2003-UP-684

Submitted September 17, 2003 – Filed
November 24, 2003

APPEAL DISMISSED

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

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

PER CURIAM:  Russell LaBoone was indicted
for criminal sexual conduct with a minor, 2nd degree, and entered a plea of
guilty to the lesser offense of assault and battery of a high and aggravated
nature.  Laboone appeals the trial court’s denial of his motion to reconsider
sentencing.  Counsel for LaBoone attached to the final brief a petition to be
relieved as counsel.  LaBoone did not file a separate pro se response. 

After a review of the record as required
by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and State v. Williams,
305 S.C. 116, 406 S.E.2d 357 (1991), we hold there are no directly appealable
issues that are arguable on their merits.  Accordingly, we dismiss LaBoone’s
appeal and grant counsel’s petition to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HUFF, STILWELL, and BEATTY, JJ., concur.
