Appellate Defender Eleanor Duffy Cleary, of Columbia, for
Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, all

PER CURIAM: Larry Baker appeals his convictions and
sentences for possession of crack cocaine with intent to distribute and
possession of crack cocaine in proximity of a school. On appeal, Baker contends the trial court erred by
failing to suppress statements made by Baker while in custody.  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.

HEARN,
C.J., PIEPER and LOCKEMY, JJ., concur.

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