v.

Maurice Williams,       
Appellant.

Appeal From Clarendon County

Howard P. King, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2003-UP-768

Submitted October 15, 2003 – Filed December
31, 2003

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; Cecil Kelley Jackson, of Sumter, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Maurice Williams appeals his
guilty pleas to one count of first-degree burglary and one count of possession
of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime.  Counsel for Williams
attached to the final brief a petition to be relieved as counsel.  Williams
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 the appeal
and grant counsel’s petition to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

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