In The Court of Appeals

In
the Interest of Christopher M., A minor under the age of
seventeen, Appellant.

Appeal From Aiken County

 Peter R. Nuessle, Family Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No.  2008-UP-041

Submitted January 2, 2008 – Filed January
11, 2008

APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender Eleanor Duffy Cleary, South Carolina
Commission, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott,
Office of the Attorney General, all of Columbia; and Solicitor Barbara R. Morgan,
of Aiken, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Christopher
M. appeals his conviction for receiving stolen goods after a family court judge
found him guilty.  The judge ordered him to a determinate sentence of ninety
days in the Department of Juvenile Justice with probation to continue upon his
release.  Christopher M. argues the judge erred by failing to exclude a
statement he made because it was not voluntary.  Christopher M.’s counsel
attached a petition to be relieved, stating she reviewed the record and
concluded this appeal lacks merit.  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 Christopher
M.’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.[1] 

APPEAL DISMISSED.

ANDERSON,
SHORT AND WILLIAMS, JJ., CONCUR.

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