v.

Jason Grandison       
Appellant.

Appeal From Marlboro County

Edward B. Cottingham, Circuit Court
Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2004-UP-116

Submitted November 19, 2003 – Filed
February 24, 2004

APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant Appellant Defender Eleanor Duffy Cleary,
Office of Appellate Defense, 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 Solicitor Jay E. Hodge, Jr., of Darlington, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Jason Grandison was indicted
for and convicted of the armed robbery of Judy’s ABC Store in Marlboro County. 
He was tried with co-defendant Quincy Lowery. Grandison’s appellate counsel
submitted a petition to be relieved as counsel, stating she has reviewed the
record and has concluded Grandison’s appeal is without merit.  Grandison did
not file a pro se brief with the court.

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 Grandison’s appeal
and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved. [1]

APPEAL DISMISSED.

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

Because oral argument would not aid the court in resolving the issues on appeal,
we decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rules 215 and 220(b)(2),
SCACR.
