Unpublished Opinion No.
2005-UP-493

Submitted August 1, 2005 – Filed August 18, 2005  

APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant Appellate Defender
Robert M. Dudek, Office of Appellate Defense, of Columbia, for
Appellant.

Legal Counsel Tommy Evans,
Jr., Legal Counsel J. Benjamin Aplin, and Deputy Director for Legal
Services Teresa A. Knox, S.C. Dept. of Probation, of Columbia, for
Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Demond
Hughes appeals arguing the trial court erred by revoking his probation. 
Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Hughes’ counsel
attached a petition to be relieved stating that he has reviewed the record and
found the appeal to be without merit.  Hughes did not file a separate pro
se brief.

After a thorough review of the
record pursuant to Anders and State v. Williams, 305 S.C. 116, 406
S.E.2d 357 (1991), we dismiss the appeal and grant counsel’s petition to be
relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.[1]

ANDERSON, J., HUFF and WILLIAMS,
JJ., concur.

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