v.

Appeal From Lexington County

R. Knox McMahon, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2009-UP-486

Submitted October 1, 2009 – Filed October
15, 2009   

APPEAL DISMISSED

Deputy Chief Appellate Defender Wanda H. Carter, of Columbia, for
Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, all
of Columbia; and Solicitor Donald V. Myers, of Lexington, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Dan Williams, II, appeals his conviction
for distribution of crack cocaine.  He argues the trial court erred in allowing
testimony about his past drug use because the evidence was not relevant to
proving he sold crack cocaine.  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., KONDUROS and LOCKEMY, JJ, concur.

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