APPEAL DISMISSED. [2]

HEARN, C.J., and GOOLSBY and WILLIAMS, JJ., concur.

[1]   In our Anders review, we noticed that
several documents relating to the drug evidence, such as a chain of custody
form, were included in the record, but they are not related to the current
appeal.  Their inclusion appears to be inadvertent.  For the benefit of the
parties, we note that we relied on the testimony in the record that was applicable
to this case and have ignored the extraneous documents as mere surplusage.

[2]   This case is decided without oral argument pursuant
to Rule 215, SCACR.
