Appeal From York County

Lee S. Alford, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2004-UP-017

Submitted November 19, 2003 – Filed January 15, 2004

APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant Appellate Defender Aileen P. Clare, of Columbia,
for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry D. McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Charles H. Richardson,
all of Columbia, and Solicitor Thomas E. Pope, of York, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Raymond C. Shackelford was
indicted for infliction of great bodily injury on a child and unlawful child
neglect.  He pled guilty as charged.  The trial court sentenced him to twenty
years and ten years, respectively, with the sentences concurrent and credit
give for time served.  Shackelford’s counsel attached to the final brief a petition
to be relieved as counsel stating she had reviewed the record and concluded
the appeal lacked merit.  Shackelford filed a pro se response.

We dismiss 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 hold there are no directly appealable issues that are arguable on
their merits.  Accordingly, we dismiss Shackelford’s appeal and grant counsel’s
petition to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

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