Appeal From Sumter County

Howard P. King, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2004-UP-493

Submitted September 15, 2004 – Filed
September 22, 2004

APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant Appellate Defender Robert M. Pachak, Office of Appellate
Defense, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott,
all of Columbia; and Solicitor C. Kelly Jackson, of Sumter, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Samuel Dinkins appeals from
his conviction for armed robbery, kidnapping, and possession of a firearm during
the commission of a violent crime.  He contends the trial judge erred when he
visited the jury room alone to correct a mistake in his charge.  Dinkins’s counsel
attached to the brief a petition to be relieved as counsel, stating that he
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] Dinkins’s
appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HEARN, C.J., HUFF and KITTREDGE, JJ., concur.

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