APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender Kathrine H. Hudgins, of
Columbia; and Anthony L. Mattison, pro se, for Appellant.

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

PER CURIAM:  Anthony L. Mattison appeals his conviction for possession with intent to distribute crack cocaine, arguing
the trial court erred in admitting evidence of drugs when the State failed to
establish a proper chain of custody.  After a thorough review of the record and briefs
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., HUFF and SHORT,
JJ., concur.

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