Unpublished Opinion No. 2012-UP-464
Submitted July 2, 2012 – Filed July 25, 2012

APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender LaNelle Cantey DuRant, of
Columbia; and Leshaon Octavius Bell, pro se, for
Appellant.

Attorney General Alan Wilson, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh, and Senior Assistant Deputy
Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, all of Columbia; and
Solicitor Edgar L. Clements, III, of Florence, for
Respondent.
PER CURIAM: Leshaon Octavius Bell appeals his convictions of distribution of
cocaine base and distribution of cocaine base within the proximity of a school or
park, arguing the trial court erred in admitting a video of a controlled drug
transaction because the officer testified he could not observe the transaction at the
time it was occurring. Additionally, Bell filed a pro se brief. After a thorough
review of the record and briefs 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 the
appeal and grant counsel's motion to be relieved.1

APPEAL DISMISSED.
