v.

Pamela Adkins,       
Appellant.

Appeal From Lexington County

James R. Barber, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2003-UP-525

Submitted July 1, 2003 – Filed September
2, 2003 

APPEAL DISMISSED

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

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

PER CURIAM:  Pamela Adkins appeals the circuit
court’s revocation of her probation for her conviction for bank fraud.  Adkins’s
appellate counsel has petitioned to be relieved as counsel, stating he has reviewed
the record and has concluded Adkins’s appeal is without merit.  The issue briefed
by counsel concerns whether the trial court erred by allegedly assessing the
extent of her drug use in reliance on facts not in evidence and its own speculation. 
Adkins did not file a separate pro se brief.

After a review of the record as required
by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and State v. Williams,
305 S.C. 116, 406 S.E.2d 357 (1991), we hold there are no directly appealable
issues that are arguable on their merits.  Accordingly, we dismiss Adkins’s
appeal and grant counsel’s petition to be relieved.1

APPEAL DISMISSED.

GOOLSBY, BEATTY, and KITTREDGE, 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
Rules 215 and 220(b)(2), SCACR.
