v.

Gloria Jenkins,       
Appellant.

Appeal From Beaufort County

Jackson V. Gregory, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2003-UP-742

Submitted October 10, 2003 – Filed December
17, 2003

APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant Appellate Defender Aileen P. Clare, Office of Appellate
Defense, 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 Randolph Murdaugh, III, of Hampton, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Gloria Jenkins appeals from a
negotiated plea, arguing that the trial judge should have ordered a mental examination
for Jenkins before accepting the plea since Jenkins was taking medication at
the time. Counsel for Jenkins attached to the final brief a petition to be relieved
as counsel.

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

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HUFF, STILWELL, and BEATTY, JJ., concur.
