v.

Mario Hunter, Mario Hunter,

Appeal From Darlington County

Howard P. King, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2009-UP-530

Submitted November 2, 2009 – Filed
November 19, 2009   

APPEAL DISMISSED

Deputy Chief Attorney Wanda H. Carter, 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 Jay E. Hodge, Jr., of Cheraw,
for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Mario Hunter appeals his convictions for
first-degree burglary and petit larceny.  Hunter's counsel argues the trial
court erred in admitting Hunter's statement because it was not voluntary. 
Hunter filed a pro se brief arguing the trial court erred in denying his
directed verdict motion.  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. 

WILLIAMS,
PIEPER, and LOCKEMY, JJ., concur.

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