State of South Carolina, Respondent.

Appellate Case No. 2010-162487

Appeal From Anderson County
Roger L. Couch, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2013-UP-136
Submitted February 1, 2013 – Filed April 10, 2013

APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender LaNelle Cantey DuRant, of
Columbia, for Petitioner.

Attorney General Alan McCrory Wilson, Chief Deputy
Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Senior Assistant
Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, and Assistant
Attorney General Adam West Lee, all of Columbia, for
Respondent.
PER CURIAM: Petitioner seeks a writ of certiorari from the dismissal of his
application for post-conviction relief. The State consents to Petitioner's request for
a belated direct appeal. Accordingly, we grant the petition for a writ of certiorari
and proceed with a review of the direct appeal issue pursuant to Davis v. State, 288
S.C. 290, 342 S.E.2d 60 (1986).

Petitioner appeals his convictions of two counts of lewd act upon a child under
sixteen, one count of obscene exposure of private parts in a lewd manner, and one
count of criminal sexual conduct, arguing the trial court erred in refusing to admit
evidence of third-party guilt. 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 Petitioner's appeal and grant counsel's
motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.1
