APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant Appellate Defender Tara S. Taggart, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Andre Roach pled guilty to leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death, leaving the scene of an accident with great bodily injury, reckless homicide, failure to stop for a police vehicle, and forgery.  He appeals.  Roach’s counsel attached to the final brief a petition to be relieved as counsel that stated she reviewed the record and concluded this appeal is without merit.  Roach did not file a pro se response. 

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