Angela Rene
Cowart, Appellant.

Appeal From York County

John C. Hayes, III, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2012-UP-185

Submitted March 1, 2012 – Filed March 14,
2012   

APPEAL DISMISSED

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

Attorney General Alan Wilson, Chief Deputy
Attorney General John W. McIntosh, and Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley
W. Elliott, all of Columbia; and Solicitor Kevin S. Brackett, of York, for
Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Angela Rene Cowart appeals her convictions for obtaining
goods under false pretense over five thousand dollars and financial transaction
card fraud, arguing the trial court erred in permitting a witness to testify
about forced transaction scams when he had no personal knowledge of Cowart's
case and was not qualified as an expert.  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 motion to be relieved.[1]

APPEAL DISMISSED. 

PIEPER, KONDUROS, and
GEATHERS, JJ., concur.

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