APPEAL DISMISSED

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

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott,
of Columbia, Warren Blair Giese, of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Pressley was convicted of failure to return a rented
motor vehicle valued over $1000.00 but less than $5000.00.  The trial court
sentenced him to imprisonment for a period of three years, suspended on
probation for a period of three years and one hundred hours of public service.  Pressley’ counsel attached to
the brief a petition to be relieved as counsel, stating that she had reviewed
the record and concluded this appeal lacks merit.  Pressley did not file a
separate pro se brief.  After a thorough review of the record and
counsel’s brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1969),
and State v. Williams, 305 S.C. 116, 406 S.E.2d 357 (1991), we dismiss
the appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.[1]

APPEAL
DISMISSED.

HEARN, C.J, AND HUFF AND KITTREDGE, JJ., concur.      

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