Submitted April 18, 2003 – Filed June

APPEAL DISMISSED

Deputy Chief Attorney Joseph L. Savitz, III, of Columbia;
for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster; Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh; Assistant Deputy Attorney General Donald J. Zelenka,
of Columbia; Barbara R. Morgan, of Aiken; for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Lamar Laguer was indicted for murder and
possession of a firearm during the commission of a violent crime.   Following
a jury trial, Laguer was found guilty and sentenced to life imprisonment.

Counsel for Laguer attached a petition to be relieved to
the final brief stating he had reviewed the record and found the appeal to be
without merit.  After a 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] Laguer’s appeal and
grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

CURETON, ANDERSON and HUFF, 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.
