In The Court of Appeals

The State, Respondent,

v.

Marvin Meek, Appellant.

Appeal from Orangeburg County

 James C. Williams, Jr., Circuit Court
Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2008-UP-553

Submitted October 1, 2008 – Filed October
9, 2008   

APPEAL DISMISSED

Deputy Chief Attorney for Capital Appeals Robert M. Dudek, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh, and Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W.
Elliott, of Columbia; and Solicitor David M. Pascoe, Jr., of Summerville, for
Respondent.

PER CURIAM: 
Meek was convicted of carjacking and armed robbery.  On appeal, Meek argues the
court erred by allowing an in-court identification without first holding a
hearing on the reliability of the identification.  Additionally, Meek filed a pro
se brief maintaining the court erred in admitting a videotaped confession,
arguing the statement was involuntary.  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.

SHORT,
THOMAS, and PIEPER, JJ., concur.

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