APPEAL DISMISSED

Chief Appellate Defender Robert Dudek, of
Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Alan Wilson, Chief Deputy
Attorney General John W. McIntosh, and Assistant Deputy Attorney General Donald
J. Zelenka, all of Columbia; and Solicitor Christina T. Adams, of Anderson, for
Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Shawn Williams appeals his conviction for murder, causing the death
of a child in utero during the commission of a violent crime, and possession of
a knife during commission of a violent crime.  On appeal, his counsel argues
the trial court erred in denying his directed verdict motion.  Williams also
filed a pro se brief.  After a thorough
review of the record, counsel's brief, and Williams'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 the appeal and grant counsel's motion to
be relieved.[1]

APPEAL DISMISSED. 

FEW, C.J., and HUFF and
KONDUROS, JJ., concur. 

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