APPEAL DISMISSED

Deputy Chief Appellate Defender Wanda H.
Carter, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Alan Wilson, Chief Deputy
Attorney General John W. McIntosh, and Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley
W. Elliott, all of Columbia; and Solicitor W. Walter Wilkins, III, of
Greenville, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Robert Lee Dean appeals his convictions for second-degree
criminal sexual conduct with a minor and lewd act upon a child.  He argues the
trial court erred in allowing testimony of a forensic interviewer of abused
children.  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.

WILLIAMS,
THOMAS, and LOCKEMY, JJ., concur.

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