v.

Appeal from Charleston County

 J. Derham Cole, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No.  2008-UP-516

Submitted September 2, 2008 – Filed

APPEAL DISMISSED

Joseph L. Savitz, III, Chief Attorney, South Carolina Commission
on Indigent Defense, Division of Appellate Defense, of Columbia; for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh, and Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W.
Elliot, all of the Office of the Attorney General, of Columbia; and Ralph E.
Hoisington, Solicitor, Ninth Judicial Circuit, of Charleston; for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: 
Lawrence William Barrett, III, was convicted of armed robbery and possession
of a firearm during the commission of a violent crime.  On appeal, Barrett argues the judge erred by allowing hearsay evidence
that a witness saw a vehicle later traced to Barrett fleeing the scene of the
crime.  Barrett did not file a pro se brief.  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.

ANDERSON, WILLIAMS, and KONDUROS, JJ., concur.

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