Vino Antwaan Gill,       
Appellant,

Appeal From York County

Lee S. Alford, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2003-UP-612

Submitted August 20, 2003 – Filed October
21, 2003 

APPEAL DISMISSED

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

Attorney General Henry Dargan
McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney
General Charles H. Richardson, all of Columbia;   and Solicitor Thomas E. Pope,
of York, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Vino Antwaan Gill appeals from
his guilty plea to disturbing schools, arguing his sentence, though technically
legal, was unconstitutionally severe.  Gill’s counsel attached to the brief
a petition to be relieved as counsel, stating that she had reviewed the record
and concluded this appeal lacks merit.  After a thorough 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] Gill’s appeal and grant counsel’s
motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HEARN, C.J., CONNOR and ANDERSON, JJ., concur.

[1] We decide this case without oral argument pursuant
to Rule 215, SCACR.
