v.

W. T. Prince,       
Appellant.

Appeal From Florence County

B. Hicks Harwell, Jr., Circuit Court
Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2004-UP-071

Submitted November 19, 2003 – Filed February 11, 2004

APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant Appellate Defender Tara S. Taggart, of Columbia,
for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Charles H. Richardson,
of Columbia, and Solicitor Edgar Lewis Clements, III, of Florence, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  W. T. Prince pled guilty to
burglary in the 2nd degree.  The trial court sentenced him to 15
years imprisonment suspended upon the service of 5 years, with credit for time
served.  His 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.  Prince did not file 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 Prince’s appeal and grant counsel’s petition
to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

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