Appeal From Pickens County

 Alvin D. Johnson, Family Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No.   2008-UP-476

Submitted August 1, 2008 – Filed August 11,
2008

APPEAL DISMISSED

Chief Appellate Defender Joseph L. Savitz, III, South Carolina
Commission on Indigent Offense, Division of Appellate Defense, 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: The family court adjudicated Barry W. D., a juvenile,
delinquent on two petitions alleging assault and battery of a high and aggravated
nature and ordered his commitment for an indeterminate period not to exceed his
twenty-first birthday.  Barry’s appellate counsel filed a brief and attached
petition to be relieved as counsel pursuant to Anders v. California, 386
U.S. 738 (1967).  Counsel argues the family court erred by allowing the joinder
of two petitions in a single trial.  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] Barry’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL
DISMISSED.

KONDUROS, J.,
CURETON, A.J., and GOOLSBY, A.J., concur.

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