Appeal From Horry County

Reginald I. Lloyd, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No.
2005-UP-410

Submitted June 1, 2005 – Filed June 27, 2005

APPEAL DISMISSED

Acting Deputy Chief Attorney
Wanda H. Carter, of Columbia, for Appellant. 

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh, and Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley
W. Elliott, all of Columbia; and Solicitor John Gregory Hembree, of
Conway, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Herman
Geathers appeals his conviction and life sentence for second-degree criminal
sexual conduct with a minor.  Counsel for Geathers attached to the final
brief a petition to be relieved as counsel.  Geathers 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 the appeal and grant counsel’s petition to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

ANDERSON, STILWELL, and WILLIAMS,
JJ., concur.
