Appeal From Florence County

Kenneth G. Goode, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No.
2005-UP-408

Submitted June 6, 2005 – Filed June 24, 2005

APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant Appellate Defender
Robert M. Pachak, 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 Edgar Lewis Clements, III, of
Florence, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Thomas Earl
Clark appeals his guilty plea to second-degree burglary, criminal sexual
conduct, and exposing others to HIV.  Counsel for Clark attached to the final brief a petition to be relieved as
counsel.  Clark filed a separate pro se response
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 Clark’s appeal and grant counsel’s petition to
be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

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