v.

Willie Lloyd Alexander, Appellant.

Appeal From Richland County

 G. Thomas Cooper, Jr., Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2006-UP-104

Submitted February 1, 2006 – Filed February 17, 2006

APPEAL DISMISSED

Steven M. Hisker, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, Office of the Attorney General; and Solicitor Warren B. Giese, all of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Willie Lloyd Alexander appeals his conviction and sentence of fourteen years for attempted armed robbery.  Alexander argues the trial court erred by permitting the State to cross examine him about prior arrests that did not result in conviction.  After a thorough review of the record and counsel’s brief 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[1] Alexander’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HEARN, C.J., and ANDERSON and KITTREDGE, JJ., concur.

[1] We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
