Unpublished Opinion No. 2003-UP-426

APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant Appellate Defender Aileen P. Clare, of Columbia,
for Appellant.

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

PER CURIAM:  Rick Davis was convicted of
armed robbery and failure to stop for a blue light.  The judge sentenced him
to twenty years on the armed robbery conviction.  Davis was sentenced on the
failure to stop for a blue light conviction for a term of one year, concurrent
to the armed robbery sentence.  Davis’ appellate counsel filed a brief pursuant
to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).  Counsel additionally submitted
a petition to be relieved from representation, asserting there are no directly
appealable issues of arguable merit.  Davis did not file a pro se
response with the Court.

After a review of the record pursuant to Anders
and State v. Williams, 305 S.C. 116, 406 S.E.2d 357 (1991), we dismiss
the appeal and grant counsel’s petition to be relieved.
