APPEAL DISMISSED
__________

Senior Appellate Defender Joseph L. Savitz III, of
Columbia, and Derrick D. Harriott, pro se, for
Appellant.

Attorney General Alan Wilson, Chief Deputy
Attorney General John W. McIntosh, and Senior
Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott,
all of Columbia; and Solicitor Ernest A. Finney III, of
Sumter, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Derrick D. Harriott appeals his convictions of murder
and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime,
arguing the trial court erred in failing to instruct the jury on the defense of
insanity. Harriott also filed a pro se brief. After a thorough review of the
record and all briefs 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 the
appeal and grant counsel's motion to be relieved.1

APPEAL DISMISSED.

FEW, C.J., HUFF and SHORT, JJ., concur.

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