Luke N. Brown, Jr., Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2003-UP-273

Submitted November 20, 2002 – Filed
April 15, 2003

APPEAL DISMISSED

Deputy Chief Attorney Joseph L. Savitz, III, of Columbia,
for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh and Assistant Deputy Attorney General Donald J. Zelenka,
all of Columbia;  and Solicitor Walter M. Bailey, Jr., of Summerville, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Cory T. Credell appeals his
convictions for murder and first-degree burglary. The trial judge sentenced
Credell to concurrent terms of life imprisonment.

Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386
U.S. 738 (1967), counsel for Credell attached to the final brief a petition
to be relieved as counsel, stating he had reviewed the record and concluded
Credell’s appeal is without legal merit sufficient to warrant a new trial. 
Credell filed a separate pro se response. 

After a thorough review of the record pursuant
to Anders and State v. Williams, 305 S.C. 116, 406 S.E.2d 357
(1991), we dismiss the appeal and grant counsel’s petition to be relieved.

APPEAL
DISMISSED.

CONNOR,
STILWELL, and HOWARD, JJ., concur.
