APPEAL DISMISSED

Lena Younts Meredith, of Greenwood, for
Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster,
Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney
General Salley W. Elliott, and Assistant Attorney General Ashley Anne
McMahan, all of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Glenn Shepherd appeals the dismissal of
his petition for a writ of habeas corpus alleging the circuit court erred in
dismissing his petition because trial counsel's ineffective assistance denied
him fundamental fairness shocking to the universal sense of justice.  After a thorough
review of the record, counsel's brief, and Shepherd's pro se 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 the appeal and grant counsel's motion to
be relieved.[1]

APPEAL DISMISSED.

WILLIAMS, PIEPER, and LOCKEMY, JJ., concur.

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