APPEAL DISMISSED

Chief Attorney Joseph L. Savitz, III, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney John
W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, all of Columbia;
David M. Pascoe, Jr., of Summerville, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Appellant, Johnny Lee Loynes, pled guilty to three
counts of forgery, less than $5,000.  The trial judge sentenced him to
concurrent sentences of five years, suspended upon service of four years with
two years of probation, on each charge.  Loynes’ counsel attached to the brief a petition to be relieved
as counsel, stating that he had reviewed the record and concluded this appeal
lacks merit.  Loynes did not file a separate pro se brief.  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[1] the appeal and grant counsel’s petition to be relieved.

APPEAL
DISMISSED.

HEARN,
CJ., HUFF, and KITTREDGE, JJ., concur.

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