v.

Laquan D.
Collier, Appellant.

Appeal from York County

 Steven H. John, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2008-UP-531

Submitted September 2, 2008 – Filed
September 11, 2008   

APPEAL DISMISSED

Chief Attorney for Capital Appeals Robert M. Dudek, of Columbia, for Appellant.

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

PER CURIAM: 
Collier was convicted of murder, attempted armed robbery, criminal conspiracy,
and possession of a firearm during the commission of a violent crime.  On appeal, Collier argues the judge erred by admitting evidence of a
robbery that took place the day after the charged incident.  Collier filed a pro se brief, which raised the same argument.  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., and HUFF and GEATHERS, JJ., concur.

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