Appeal From Greenville County

Larry R. Patterson, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2008-UP-686

Submitted December 1, 2008 – Filed

APPEAL DISMISSED

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

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott,
all of Columbia; and Solicitor Robert M. Ariail, of Greenville; for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Charles
Earl Richey appeals his convictions and sentences for armed robbery,
kidnapping, resisting arrest, pointing and presenting a firearm, and possession
of a pistol by a person convicted of a violent crime.  Richey’s counsel argues
the trial court erred by admitting evidence of a show-up identification.  In a
pro se brief, Richey maintains the trial court erred by admitting statements he
made to police without first conducting an adequate hearing to determine
voluntariness.  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. 

HEARN,
C.J., SHORT and KONDUROS, JJ. , concur.

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