APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant Appellate Defender Aileen P. Clare, South Carolina Commission on Indigent Defense, of Columbia; and Deonta Carpenter, of Bishopville, for Appellant.

Teresa A Knox, S.C. Dept. of Probation Parole & Pardon, of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Deonta Carpenter appeals the revocation of his probation.  His counsel contends the court erred in failing to find his violations were willful prior to revoking his probation.  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[1] Carpenter’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HUFF, BEATTY, and WILLIAMS, JJ., concur.

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