Unpublished Opinion No. 2003-UP-428

Submitted April 18, 2003 – Filed
June 24, 2003

APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant Appellate Defender Tara S. Taggart, of Columbia,
for Appellant.

Deputy Director for Legal Services Teresa A.
Knox, Legal Counsel Tommy Evans and Legal Counsel J. Benjamin Aplin, all of
Columbia, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Trayawn L. Burgess appeals
from an order of the trial court revoking his probation.  The court found a
willful violation of probation and revoked five years of a ten-year sentence. 
Burgess’ 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.  Burgess 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.
