v.

Kendrick Leon Taylor,       
Appellant.

Appeal From Florence County

Paul M. Burch, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 03-UP-154

Submitted January 10, 2003 – Filed February
20, 2003  

APPEAL DISMISSED

Senior Assistant Appellate Defender Wanda H. Haile, of Columbia;
Kendrick Taylor, of Kingstree, for Appellant.

Deputy Director for Legal Services Teresa A. Knox; Legal Counsel
Tommy Evans; Legal Counsel J. Benjamin Aplin, all of Columbia; for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Kendrick Leon Taylor appeals
the revocation of his probation.  Kendrick’s appellate counsel has petitioned
to be relieved as counsel, stating she has reviewed the record and has concluded
Kendrick’s appeal is without merit.  The issue briefed by counsel concerns whether
his probation violations were willful.  Kendrick has not filed any materials
on his own behalf.

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 Kendrick’s
appeal and grant counsel’s petition to be relieved.1

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HEARN, C.J., and GOOLSBY and SHULER, JJ., concur.

         
1  Because oral argument would not aid the court in resolving
the issues on appeal, we decide this case without oral argument pursuant to
Rules 215 and 220(b)(2), SCACR.
