PER CURIAM:  Thomas Edward Brown was indicted
for and convicted of assault and battery with intent to kill.  The trial court
sentenced him to fifteen years imprisonment.  Brown’s counsel attached to the
final brief a petition to be relieved as counsel stating she had reviewed the
record and concluded the appeal lacked merit.  Brown did file a pro se
response.  We dismiss pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738
(1967) and State v. Williams, 305 S.C. 116, 406 S.E.2d 357 (1991).  Counsel’s
petition to be relieved is granted.1
