Unpublished Opinion No. 2007-UP-442

Submitted October 1, 2007 – Filed October

APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender Aileen P. Clare, South Carolina Commission on
Indigent Defense, 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, of Columbia; and Solicitor Jay E. Hodge, Jr., for
Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Appellant, Donna Cannon, pled guilty
pursuant to North Carolina v. Alford, 400 U.S. 25, 91 S.Ct. 160, 27
L.Ed.2d 162 (1970), to trafficking in ice, crank, or crack, 10 to 28 grams. 
The trial judge sentenced her to five years imprisonment.  Cannon’s 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.  Cannon
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.
