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,
of Columbia; Edgar Lewis Clements, III, of Florence; for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:   Darren White was indicted
on one count of possession with intent to distribute cocaine and one count of
possession with intent to distribute cocaine within the proximity of a school. 
Following a jury trial, White was convicted on both charges and sentenced to
twenty five years in prison. Counsel for White attached a petition to be relieved
to the final brief stating she had reviewed the record and found the appeal
to be without merit.  White filed a separate pro se brief.   After
a review of the record and counsel’s and White’s briefs 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] White’s appeal and
grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

CURETON, ANDERSON and HUFF, 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
Rule 215, SCACR.
