v.

Terry Gorgio Leach,       
Appellant.

Appeal From York County

John C. Hayes, III, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2004-UP-126

Submitted November 19, 2003 – Filed
February 26, 2004

APPEAL DISMISSED

Chief Attorney Daniel T. Stacey, Office of Appellate Defense,
of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Charles H. Richardson,
all of Columbia;  and Solicitor Thomas E. Pope, Solicitor's of York, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Terry Leach appeals the sentence
of fifteen to twenty-three years he received after pleading guilty to charges
of conspiracy, trafficking crack cocaine, and possession with intent to distribute
within the proximity of a park or a school. Counsel for Leach attached to the
final brief a petition to be relieved as counsel. Leach filed 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 Leach’s appeal
and grant counsel’s petition to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
