Submitted February 20, 2003 – Filed

APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant Appellate Defender Robert M. Pachak, of Columbia,
for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Charles H. Richardson,
all of Columbia;  and Solicitor Walter M. Bailey, Jr., of Summerville, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: William C. Hilliard, Jr., was
convicted of possession with the intent to distribute marijuana, cocaine, and,
crack cocaine.  He appeals, arguing the trial court erred by preventing defense
counsel from introducing business records to corroborate testimony that he did
not live at the address where he was charged with possession of the drugs. 
After a thorough review of the record and counsel’s brief 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] Hilliard’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

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

[1] We decide this case without oral argument pursuant
to Rule 215, SCACR.
