v.

Marvis
Williams, Appellant.

Appeal From Hampton County

 Clifton Newman, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2007-UP-451

Submitted October 1, 2007 – Filed October
10, 2007 

APPEAL DISMISSED

Acting Chief Attorney Joseph L. Savitz, III, 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 I. McDuffie Stone III, of Hampton, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: A
jury convicted Marvis Williams of unlawful possession of a handgun in violation
of section 16-23-20 of the South Carolina Code (2003). The trial judge
sentenced him to one year imprisonment, suspended upon the service of thirty
days, with one year probation.  On appeal, Williams contends the trial judge
erred in allowing hearsay testimony from a police officer.  Williams did not
file a pro se brief.  After a thorough review of the record and
counsel’s brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1969), and State v. Williams, 305 S.C. 116, 406 S.E.2d 357 (1991), we dismiss the
appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.[1]

APPEAL
DISMISSED.

HEARN, C.J., HUFF and KITTREDGE, JJ., concur.       

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