B. Hicks Harwell, Jr., Circuit Court

Unpublished Opinion No. 2004-UP-070

Submitted November 19, 2003 – Filed February 11, 2004

APPEAL DISMISSED

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

Deputy Director For Legal Services Teresa A. Knox, Legal Counsel
Tommy Evans, Jr., Legal Counsel J. Benjamin Aplin, S.C. Dept. of Probation,
of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Prince pled guilty to use of
a motor vehicle without the owner’s consent.  He was sentenced to three years
imprisonment, suspended upon service of fifty-nine days and two years probation,
with credit given for time served.  Prince also pled guilty to malicious injury
to personal property less than $1000 and received thirty days with credit for
time served.  W. T. Prince appeals the revocation of his probation.  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.
