APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant Appellate Defender
Robert M. Pachak, of Columbia.

Attorney Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General
John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Charles H. Richardson, of
Columbia; Robert M. Ariail, of Greenville; for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Jeffrey Michael Taylor was indicted by
a Greenville County grand jury for burglary in the first degree, assault and
battery with intent to kill, and grand larceny.  Following a jury trial, Taylor
was found guilty of burglary in the first degree, assault and battery of a high
and aggravated nature and grand larceny.  Taylor was sentenced to ten years
for grand larceny, ten years consecutive for ABHAN and to life without parole
for burglary in the first degree. 

Counsel for Taylor attached a petition to be relieved to
the final brief stating he had reviewed the record and found the appeal to be
without merit.  Taylor filed a separate pro se brief.  After a
review of the record and counsel and Taylor’s briefs 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
[1] Taylor’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HEARN, C.J., CURETON and GOOLSBY, 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 Rule 215, SCACR.
