APPEAL DISMISSED

Acting Deputy Chief Attorney Wanda H. Carter, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, ; all of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Calvin Leneau appeals his conviction for armed robbery.  His counsel contends the trial court erred in allowing the State to exercise two peremptory challenges in a discriminatory manner and by failing to hold a hearing on the issue. After a thorough review of the record   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] Leneau’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

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

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