APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender Breen Richard Stevens, of
Columbia, for Appellant.

PER CURIAM:  Eric C. Mitchell appeals his probation revocation,

powers doctrine.    After a thorough review of the record and all briefs

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.

WILLIAMS, THOMAS, and
LOCKEMY, JJ., concur.

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