PER CURIAM:  Hailey Prescott was
convicted of ill-treatment of an animal. Prescott was sentenced to four years
imprisonment, suspended on the service of one year imprisonment and one year
probation.  Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Prescott’s
counsel attached a petition to be relieved.  Prescott filed a pro se
response.

After review of the record 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 Prescott’s appeal and grant counsel’s
petition to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED. [1]

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

[1] Because oral argument would not aid the Court in resolving
any issue on appeal, we decide this case without oral argument pursuant to
Rule 215 and 220(b)(2), SCACR.
