Deputy Chief Appellate Defender Wanda H. Carter, of Columbia, for
Appellant.

General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott,
and Solicitor Warren B. Giese, all of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Terrance Tompkins appeals his convictions
for two counts of assault and battery with intent to kill and one count of
assault with intent to kill.  His counsel argues the trial court erred by

brief.  After a thorough review of the record and all 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]

DISMISSED. 

HUFF,
THOMAS, and PIEPER, JJ., concur.

Rule 215, SCACR.
