v.

Marc Hoerner,       
Appellant.

Appeal From Sumter County

Clifton Newman, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No.  2003-UP-169

Submitted January 10, 2003 – Filed March 4, 2003

APPEAL DISMISSED

Senior Assistant Appellate Defender Wanda H. Haile, of Columbia;
for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Charles H. Richardson,
all of Columbia; and Solicitor  Cecil Kelley Jackson, of Sumter; for Respondents.

PER CURIAM:  Marc Hoerner appeals his conviction
and sentence for second-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor.  Hoerner’s
appellate counsel has petitioned to be relieved as counsel, stating she has
reviewed the record and has concluded Hoerner’s appeal is without merit.  The
issue briefed by counsel concerns the trial court’s requirement that Hoerner
would have to register as a sex offender.  Hoerner has not filed any documents
on his own behalf.

After a review of the record as required
by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and State v. Williams,
305 S.C. 116, 406 S.E.2d 357 (1991), we hold there are no directly appealable
issues that are arguable on their merits.  Accordingly, we dismiss Hoerner’s
appeal and grant counsel’s petition to be relieved.1

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HEARN, C.J., and GOOLSBY and SHULER, JJ., concur.

         
1  Because oral argument would the aid the court in resolving
the issues on appeal, we decide this case without oral argument pursuant to
Rules 215 and 220(b)(2), SCACR.
