APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender Eleanor Duffy Cleary, of Columbia, for
Appellant

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott,
of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Appellant, Betran Waring, pled guilty to
First Degree Burglary.  The trial judge sentenced him to fifteen years
imprisonment.  Waring’s
counsel attached to the brief a petition to be relieved as counsel, stating
that she had reviewed the record and concluded this appeal lacks merit.  Waring did not file a separate pro se brief.  After a thorough 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[1] the appeal and grant counsel’s petition to be relieved.

APPEAL
DISMISSED.

HEARN,
CJ., HUFF, and KITTREDGE, JJ., concur.

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