Appeal From Lee County

Howard P. King, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2010-UP-012

Submitted January 4, 2010 – Filed January

APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender LaNelle C. DuRant, of
Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief
Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General
Salley W. Elliott, all of Columbia; and Cecil Kelly Jackson, of Sumter, for
Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  In August 2008, Terrance was sentenced
to five years to run consecutively to the sentence he was already serving for
assaulting a correctional officer.  Black's
counsel attached to the brief a petition to be relieved as counsel stating she
had reviewed the record and concluded this appeal lacked merit.  Black did not
file 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[1] the appeal and grant counsel's petition to be relieved.

APPEAL
DISMISSED

HUFF, A.C.J.,
GEATHERS, J., and CURETON, A.J., concur.

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