Appeal From Williamsburg County

Clifton Newman, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2007-UP-043

Submitted January 2, 2007 – Filed January 24, 2007

APPEAL DISMISSED

Acting Chief Attorney Joseph L. Savitz, III, Office of Appellate Defense, 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 C. Kelly Jackson, of Sumter, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Steven Hanna appeals his guilty plea for armed robbery and sentence of fifteen years imprisonment.  Hanna argues the trial court erred by accepting his guilty plea because he did not steal the property of another, he simply took back his property.  Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and State v. Williams, 305 S.C. 116, 406 S.E.2d 357 (1991), and after a thorough review of the record, counsel’s brief, and Hanna’s pro se brief, we dismiss[1] Hanna’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

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

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