In The Court of Appeals

The State, Respondent,

v.

Akera Felecia Starr, Appellant.

Appeal From York County

 John C. Hayes, III, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2004-UP-372

Submitted April 21, 2004 – Filed June 17, 2004

APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant Appellate Defender Aileen P. Clare, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Legal Counsel J. Benjamin Aplin, S.C. Dept. of Probation, of Columbia,
for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Akera Felecia Starr appeals
the revocation of her probation.  Starr’s appellate attorney has petitioned
to be relieved as counsel, stating she has reviewed the record and has concluded
Starr’s appeal is without merit.  The issue briefed by counsel concerns whether
the trial court abused its discretion in Starr’s probation.  Starr has not filed
any documents on her own behalf.

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 Starr’s appeal and grant counsel’s petition
to be relieved. [1]

APPEAL DISMISSED.

GOOLSBY, HOWARD, and BEATTY, 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 Rules 215
and 220(b)(2), SCACR.
