Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2003-UP-194

Submitted January 29, 2003 – Filed March
13, 2003

APPEAL DISMISSED

Chief Attorney Daniel T. Stacey, of Columbia; for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan
McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney
General Charles H. Richardson, of Columbia; Edgar Lewis Clements, III, of Florence;
for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Brent Shannon pled guilty to
assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature, and was sentenced to six
years imprisonment.  Shannon appeals, arguing the plea judge should not have
accepted his guilty plea, as he denied using a baseball bat to assault the victim. 
Appellate counsel has filed a final brief and a petition to be relieved.  Shannon
did not file a pro se response.

After a thorough review of the record on appeal
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 grant counsel’s petition
and dismiss the appeal.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

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