v.

Donald W. Robinson,       
Appellant.

Appeal From Charleston County

Steven H. John, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2003-UP-301

Submitted February 20, 2003 – Filed
May 1, 2003   

APPEAL DISMISSED

Chief Attorney Daniel T. Stacey, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Charles H. Richardson,
of Columbia; all of Columbia; Ralph E. Hoisington, of Charleston; for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Donald W. Robinson appeals
his conviction for first degree burglary.  Robinson’s appellate counsel has
petitioned to be relieved as counsel, stating he has reviewed the record and
has concluded Robinson’s appeal is without merit.  The issue briefed by counsel
concerns whether the trial court erred in overruling the motion for a directed
verdict by the defense  Robinson has not filed any documents  with this court
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 Robinson’s
appeal and grant counsel’s petition to be relieved.1

APPEAL DISMISSED.

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

         
1  Because oral argument would not 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.
