APPEAL DISMISSED

Senior Appellate Defender Joseph L.
Savitz, III, of Columbia, for Appellant.

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

PER CURIAM: Joshua Lee
Phillips appeals his convictions for two counts of murder, two counts of armed
robbery, and one count of possession of a weapon during the commission of a
violent crime, arguing the trial court erred in failing to charge the jury on
Phillips's alibi defense.  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 motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED. 

PIEPER, KONDUROS, and
GEATHERS, JJ., concur.

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