The State, Respondent,

v.

Mary R. Hughes, Appellant.

Appeal From Union County

 John C. Hayes, III, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2010-UP-446

Submitted October 1, 2010 – Filed October
14, 2010   

APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender Robert M. Pachak, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh, and Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W.
Elliott, all of Columbia; and Solicitor Kevin Scott Brackett, of York, for
Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Mary R. Hughes appeals her conviction for resisting
arrest.  On appeal, Hughes argues the trial court erred in refusing to grant
her directed verdict motion because the police lacked authority to arrest her
without a warrant.  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 the appeal and grant counsel's petition to be relieved.[1]

APPEAL
DISMISSED.

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

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