APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant Appellate Defender Eleanor Duffy Cleary, Office of Appellate Defense, 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; and Solicitor C. Kelly Jackson, of Sumter, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Leroy Shaw appeals his conviction for attempted burglary and resulting sentence of life without parole.  Shaw alleges the trial judge erred in denying his motion for a directed verdict.  In addition, Shaw filed a pro se response brief arguing alternative reasons the trial judge allegedly erred in denying his directed verdict motion and in admitting evidence.  After a thorough review of the record, counsel’s brief, and Shaw’s pro se response 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 Shaw’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.[1]

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HUFF, BEATTY, and WILLIAMS, JJ., concur.

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