L. Casey Manning, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2003-UP-368

Submitted March 26, 2003 – Filed May

APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant Appellate Defender Eleanor Duffy Cleary, 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; Warren Blair Giese, of Columbia; for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Appellant John Daniel Walker
was indicted for first- degree burglary, strong arm robbery, and two counts
of assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature (ABHAN).  The trial court
sentenced him to eighteen years for burglary, fifteen years for strong arm robbery
and ten years for each count of ABHAN.  Counsel for Walker attached to the final
brief a petition to be relieved as counsel.  Walker did not file a 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 Owens’ appeal and
grant counsel’s petition to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

CURETON, ANDERSON, and HUFF, JJ. concur.
