v.

Clarence
Small,        Appellant.

Appeal From Aiken County

Rodney A. Peeples, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2003-UP-770

Submitted September 7, 2003 – Filed
December 31, 2003

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, and Assistant Deputy Attorney General Donald J. Zelenka,
all of Columbia; and Solicitor Barbara R. Morgan, of Aiken, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Clarence Small appeals his
convictions and sentences for murder and possession of a knife during the commission
of a violent crime.  Counsel for Small attached to the final brief a petition
to be relieved as counsel.  Small did not file a separate pro se response. 

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 Small’s appeal
and grant counsel’s petition to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

STILWELL and BEATTY, JJ., and
CURETON, A.J., concur.
