v.

State of South Carolina, Respondent.

Appellate Case No. 2010-165046

Appeal From Richland County
Alison Renee Lee, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2013-UP-086
Submitted January 1, 2013 – Filed February 27, 2013

AFFIRMED

Appellate Defender Wanda H. Carter, of Columbia, for
Petitioner.

Attorney General Alan McCrory Wilson, Chief Deputy
Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy
Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, and Assistant
Attorney General Brian T. Petrano, all of Columbia, for
Respondent.
PER CURIAM: Petitioner seeks a writ of certiorari from the denial of his
application for post-conviction relief (PCR).

Because there is sufficient evidence to support the PCR judge's finding that
petitioner did not knowingly and intelligently waive his right to a direct appeal, we
grant certiorari on Question One and proceed with a review of the direct appeal
issue pursuant to Davis v. State, 288 S.C. 290, 342 S.E.2d 60 (1986).

After consideration of appellant's pro se brief and review pursuant to Anders v.
California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), we dismiss Petitioner's appeal and grant counsel's
motion to be relieved.

As to Question Two, after careful consideration, we deny the petition.

AFFIRMED.1

FEW, C.J., and WILLIAMS and PIEPER, JJ., concur.

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