Appellant.

Appeal From York County

John C. Hayes, III, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2003-UP-285

Submitted February 20, 2003 – Filed
April 24, 2003  

APPEAL DISMISSED

Senior Assistant Appellate Defender Wanda H. Haile,
of Columbia; for Appellant.

Deputy Director for Legal ServicesTeresa A. Knox, Legal Counsel Tommy Evans,
Jr., Legal Counsel J. Benjamin Aplin, of Columbia; for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Willis W. Ware appeals the
revocation of his probation.  Ware’s appellate counsel has petitioned to be
relieved as counsel, stating she has reviewed the record and has concluded Ware’s
appeal is without merit.  Ware has not filed any materials on his own behalf.

After a review of the record as required by Anders
v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and State v. Williams, 305 S.C.
116, 406 S.E.2d 357 (1991), we hold there are no directly appealable issues
that are arguable on their merits.  Accordingly, we dismiss Ware’s appeal and
grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HEARN, C.J., CURETON and GOOLSBY, JJ.,
concur.

[1]   Because oral argument would not aid the court
in resolving the issues on appeal, we decide this case without oral argument
pursuant to Rules 215 and 220(b)(2), SCACR.
