Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Donald J. Zelenka, Office of the Attorney General, all of Columbia; and Solicitor Ralph E. Hoisington,
of Charleston, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Robert Lee Isom, Jr. appeals his convictions for possession of a firearm during a violent crime, assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature (ABHAN), criminal sexual conduct in the first degree (CSC), and murder.  The trial judge concurrently sentenced Isom to five years for possession of a firearm, ten years for ABHAN, thirty years for CSC, and life without parole for murder.  Isom alleges the trial judge erred in allowing evidence of a prior bad act.  Isom did not submit a pro se brief. After a thorough review of the record and counsel’s brief 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 Isom’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.[1]

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HEARN, C.J., and GOOLSBY and ANDERSON, JJ., concur.

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