Appeal From Marion County

B. Hicks Harwell, Jr., Circuit Court
Judge

Unpublished Opinion 2003-UP-712

Submitted September 17, 2003 – Filed
December 9, 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, and Assistant Deputy Attorney General Charles H. Richardson,
all of Columbia; and Edgar Lewis Clements, III, of Florence, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Phillip Anthony Baccous appeals
his guilty pleas to two counts of distribution of cocaine and one count of distribution
of marijuana.  Counsel for Baccous attached to the final brief a petition to
be relieved as counsel.  Baccous did not file a separate pro se response. 

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 the appeal
and grant counsel’s petition to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HUFF, STILWELL, and BEATTY, JJ., concur.
