Attorney General Alan Wilson, Chief Deputy
Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W.
Elliott, and Solicitor Daniel E. Johnson, all of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Domonique Blakney appeals his convictions for armed
robbery, kidnapping, assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature, and

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.

JJ., concur.

Rule 215, SCACR.
