APPEAL DISMISSED

Patrick James McLaughlin, of Florence, and
Kevin Walton, pro se, for Appellant. 

Attorney General Alan Wilson, Chief Deputy
Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W.
Elliott, and Assistant Deputy Attorney General Donald J. Zelenka, all of
Columbia; and Solicitor Edgar L. Clements, III, of Florence, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Kevin Walton appeals his convictions and
sentences for murder and grand larceny, arguing the trial judge erred in 1) denying his motion to dismiss for violation
of his right to a speedy trial and 2) failing to recuse himself.  After thoroughly reviewing 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[1] Walton's
appeal and grant counsel's petition to be relieved. 

APPEAL
DISMISSED. 

FEW, C.J.,
KONDUROS, J., and CURETON, A.J., concur.

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