APPEAL DISMISSED

Chief Appellate Defender Joseph L. Savitz, III, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, and
Assistant Deputy Attorney General Donald J. Zelenka, all of Columbia; and Solicitor
Christina T. Adams, of Anderson, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Frady
appeals his convictions for grand
larceny, first- degree burglary, arson, possession of a weapon during the
commission of a violent crime, and two counts of murder, arguing the trial
court erred by precluding Frady from introducing evidence of third party guilt. 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[1] Frady’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

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

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