APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender Tristan M. Shaffer, 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 Kevin S. Brackett, of York, for
Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Legerald
Dickerson appeals the circuit court's order adjudging him guilty of two counts
of direct contempt and sentencing him to two consecutive ninety-day prison
terms.  He argues the rule of lenity required the circuit court to find him
guilty of only one act of contempt and that the circuit court abused its
discretion in ordering that his sentences run consecutive to any future
sentence.  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 the appeal and grant counsel's motion to be relieved.[1]

APPEAL DISMISSED.

FEW, C.J., HUFF and SHORT,
JJ., concur.

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