Unpublished Opinion No. 2008-UP-342

Submitted July 1, 2008 – Filed July 9,

APPEAL DISMISSED

Lanelle C. Durant, Appellate Defender, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Attorney General R. Westmoreland Clarkson, and
Assistant Attorney General Deborah R.J. Shupe, all of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: 
After a jury trial, Wallace Jefferies was
found to be a sexually violent predator under the Sexually Violent Predator
Act.  He was committed to the Department of Mental Health for long term care,
control, and treatment.  On appeal, Jefferies argues the trial
court erred in allowing certified copies of his convictions to be submitted as
evidence when he was willing to stipulate to those convictions.  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.

HEARN,
C.J., CURETON and GOOLSBY, A.J.J., concur.

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