Unpublished Opinion No.
2005-UP-409

Submitted June 1, 2005 – Filed June 27, 2005

APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant Appellate Defender
Robert M. Dudek, 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 Harold W. Gowdy, III, of
Spartanburg, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Willard
Gasper appeals his guilty pleas to one count of first-degree burglary, two
counts of assault and battery with intent to kill, and one count of
second-degree arson.  Counsel for Gasper attached to the final brief a
petition to be relieved as counsel.  Gasper did not file a separate pro se
response.

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

APPEAL DISMISSED.

ANDERSON, STILWELL, and WILLIAMS,
JJ., concur.
