Appeal From Lexington County

James R. Barber, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2004-UP-227

Submitted January 29, 2004 – Filed March
30, 2004

APPEAL DISMISSED

Senior Assistant Appellate Defender Wanda H. Haile, 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 Donald V. Myers, of Lexington, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Paul E. Medlin appeals
his convictions for first-degree burglary and assault with intent to commit
first-degree criminal sexual conduct.  Medlin’s appellate counsel has petitioned
to be relieved as counsel, stating she has reviewed the record and has concluded
Medlin’s appeal is without merit.  The sole issue briefed by counsel contends
the circuit court erred in admitting Medlin’s oral and written statements into
evidence at trial.  Medlin did not file a separate pro se brief.

After review of the record 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 dismiss this appeal and grant counsel’s petition
to be relieved. [1]

APPEAL DISMISSED.

GOOLSBY, HOWARD, and KITTREDGE, JJ., concur.

[1] We decide this case without oral argument pursuant
to Rule 215, SCACR.
