Appeal From Charleston County

R. Knox McMahon, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2008-UP-633

Submitted November 3, 2008 – Filed

APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender Eleanor Duffy Cleary, of Columbia, for
Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
Geneal John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott,
Office of the Attorney General, all of Columbia; and Solicitor Ralph E.
Hoisington, of Charleston, for Respondent.

PER
CURIAM:  Kevin Maurice Jenkins appeals his conviction for armed
robbery and twenty-seven year sentence.  Jenkins’s counsel contends the trial
court erred in admitting identification testimony that was the unreliable
product of a suggestive show-up procedure.   Jenkins filed a separate pro se
brief arguing the trial court erred by denying his motion to relieve counsel
and allowing his statement to the police into evidence.   After a thorough review of the record and both 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.

ANDERSON, HUFF, and THOMAS, JJ., concur.

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