Unpublished Opinion No. 2003-UP-502

Submitted May 30, 2003 – Filed August

APPEAL DISMISSED

Senior Assistant Appellate Defender Wanda H. Haile,
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 Barbara R. Morgan, of Aiken, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Jeffrey Johnson pled guilty
to grand larceny and burglary in the second degree.  He was sentenced to three
years for the burglary charge and three years, consecutive, for the grand larceny
charge.  Johnson’s 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.  Johnson 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.
