Appeal From Pickens County

G. Edward Welmaker, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2012-UP-101

Submitted February 1, 2012 – Filed
February 22, 2012   

APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender LaNelle Cantey DuRant, of
Columbia, 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 W. Walter Wilkins, III, of
Greenville, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Israel Colecio appeals his convictions for two
trafficking methamphetamine charges and possession of a weapon during the
commission of a violent crime, arguing the trial court erred in denying his
motion for a directed verdict on all charges when the State failed to prove he
possessed the drugs or the gun.  After a thorough review of the record and counsel's
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., HUFF and SHORT,
JJ., concur.

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