APPEAL DISMISSED

Deputy Chief Attorney Joseph L. Savitz, III, of Columbia;
for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Donald J. Zelenka,
of Columbia; Cecil Kelley Jackson, of Sumter; for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Jon Paul Smart appeals his
guilty plea to murder, armed robbery, grand larceny of an automobile, conspiracy,
and escape.  Counsel for Smart attached to the final brief a petition to be
relieved as counsel.  Smart did not file a separate pro se response. 

After a review of the record as required
by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967) and State v. Williams,
305 S.C. 116, 406 S.E.2d 357 (1991), we hold there are no directly appealable
issues that are arguable on their merits.  Accordingly, we dismiss Smart’s appeal
and grant counsel’s petition to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

CONNOR, STILWELL, and HOWARD, JJ.,
concur.
