Roger L. Couch , Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2010-UP-026

Submitted January 4, 2010 – Filed January
25, 2010   

APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender Kathrine H. Hudgins,
South Carolina Commission of Indigent Defense, Division of Appellate Defense,
of Columbia, for Appellant.

John Benjamin Aplin, S.C. Dept. of
Probation Parole & Pardon, of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  In October, 2001, Ronald K. Beusse was
sentenced for a lewd act upon a child under sixteen to fifteen years suspended
to 4.5 years with five years of probation.  Following a probation revocation hearing,
the court revoked Beusse's suspended sentence.  Beusse's counsel attached to
the brief a petition to be relieved as counsel, stating that she had reviewed
the record and concluded this appeal lacks merit.  Beusse 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 (1967) and State v. Williams, 305 S.C. 116, 406 S.E.2d 357
(1991), we dismiss[1] the appeal and grant counsel's petition to be relieved.

APPEAL
DISMISSED

HUFF, A.C.J., GEATHERS,
J., and CURETON, A.J., concur.

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