Unpublished Opinion No. 2003-UP-617

Submitted August 20, 2003 – Filed
October 21, 2003

APPEAL DISMISSED

Deputy Chief Attorney Joseph L. Savitz, III, of Columbia,
for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh and Assistant Deputy Attorney General Charles H. Richardson,
all of Columbia; and Solicitor Harold W. Gowdy, III, of Spartanburg, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Kenneth Wayne Hall, Sr. was
indicted for murder.  The jury found him guilty of voluntary manslaughter. 
The judge sentenced him to twenty-two years.  Hall’s appellate counsel filed
a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).  Counsel
additionally submitted a petition to be relieved from representation, asserting
there are no directly appealable issues of arguable merit.  Hall did not file
a pro se response with the Court.

After a review of the record pursuant to Anders
and State v. Williams, 305 S.C. 116, 406 S.E.2d 357 (1991), we dismiss
the appeal and grant counsel’s petition to be relieved.
