Appeal From Lexington County

Judge R. Knox McMahon, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2010-UP-125

Submitted January 4, 2010 – Filed February

APPEAL DISMISSED

Deputy Chief Appellate Defender 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, all of Columbia and Solicitor Donald V. Myers, of Lexington,
for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  A jury found Richard Allen Gray guilty of criminal
sexual conduct with a minor, and the trial judge sentenced Gray to life without
the possibility of parole.  Gray argues the trial court erred in finding the
State did not err in failing to disclose that an eye witness in the case gave a
prior incriminating oral statement corroborating his written statement.  Hill
maintains the failure to disclose violated Rule 5 of South Carolina Rules of
Criminal Procedure and improperly bolstered the witness's statement.  Additionally,
Gray submitted a pro se brief with the court.  After a thorough review
of the record, counsel's brief, and Gray's pro se brief, 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 Gray's appeal and grant
counsel's motion to be relieved.[1] 

APPEAL DISMISSED. 

WILLIAMS, PIEPER, and
LOCKEMY, JJ., concur.

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