v.

Appeal from Marlboro County

William H. Seals, Jr., Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2012-UP-288

Submitted April 2, 2012 - Filed May 9,
2012

APPEAL DISMISSED

Deputy Chief Appellate Defender Wanda H.
Carter, of Columbia, and Kenwood Bright, pro se, for Appellant.

Attorney General Alan Wilson, Chief Deputy
Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W.
Elliott, and Assistant Deputy Attorney General Donald J. Zelenka, all of
Columbia; and Solicitor William B. Rogers, Jr., of Bennettsville, for
Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Kenwood
Bright appeals his conviction of murder, arguing the trial
court erred in allowing the State to argue the principle of flight during
closing arguments because Bright was unaware at the time he left the scene of
the incident that the victim had died from his wounds. Additionally, Bright filed a pro se brief. 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 the appeal and
grant counsel's motion to be relieved.[1]

APPEAL DISMISSED.

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

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