PER CURIAM:  Grover Steven Cater
was indicted for criminal sexual conduct with a minor in the first degree. 
He was convicted of the lesser-included offense of assault and battery of a
high and aggravated nature.  Cater was sentenced to tens years imprisonment,
suspended upon the service of seven years imprisonment and five years probation. 
Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Cater’s counsel
attached a petition to be relieved as counsel.  Cater did not file a pro se
response.

After review of the record 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 Cater’s appeal and grant counsel’s petition
to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

on appeal, we decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215
and 220(b)(2), SCACR.
