APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender Kathrine H. Hudgins, 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 Solicitor Issac McDuffie Stone, III, of
Beaufort for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Cedric
Saunders pled guilty to possession of a stolen firearm, possession of a firearm
during the commission of a violent offense, and two counts of murder.  On
appeal, Saunders argues the trial court erred in imposing the maximum sentence
without considering Saunder's low IQ and borderline mental retardation.  After a thorough review of the record, Saunders's pro se
brief 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 the appeal and grant counsel's petition to be relieved.[1]

APPEAL DISMISSED. 

SHORT, THOMAS, and
KONDUROS, JJ., concur.

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