Daniel Gaynor,       
Appellant.

Appeal From York County

John C. Hayes, III, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2005-UP-244

Submitted April 1, 2005 – Filed April 7, 2005

APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant Appellate Defender Aileen P. Clare, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, and Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, all of Columbia; and Solicitor Thomas E. Pope, of York, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Daniel Gaynor pleaded guilty to two counts of indecent exposure.  Gaynor’s appellate counsel has petitioned to be relieved as counsel, stating she has reviewed the record and concluded Gaynor’s appeal is without merit.  The sole issue briefed by counsel concerns whether the circuit court erred by including in his sentence a requirement that he register as a sex offender.  Gaynor did not file a separate pro se brief.

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

APPEAL DISMISSED.
