Appeal From Horry County

Steven H. John, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 
2005-UP-406

Submitted June 1, 2005 – Filed June 24, 2005

APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant Appellate Defender
Eleanor Duffy Cleary, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry
Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh,
Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, Office of the
Attorney General, all of Columbia; and Solicitor John Gregory Hembree,
of Conway, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Jermaine Jordan
appeals from his conviction of first-degree burglary, arguing the trial judge
erred by failing to direct a verdict because the State did not produce any
evidence of Jordan’s intent to commit a crime in the dwelling.  Jordan’s counsel attached to the final brief a
petition to be relieved as counsel, stating she 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] the appeal and grant
counsel’s petition to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HEARN, C.J., and BEATTY and
SHORT, JJ., concur.

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