Appeal From Aiken County

James C. Williams, Jr., Circuit Court
Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2003-UP-398

Submitted April 18, 2003 – Filed June 17, 2003

APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant Appellate Defender
Aileen P. Clare, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney Henry Dargan McMaster;  Chief Deputy Attorney General
John W. McIntosh; Assistant Deputy Attorney General Charles H. Richardson, all
of Columbia;  and Solicitor Barbara R. Morgan, of Aiken; for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Tonnie N. Baldwin was indicted for grand
larceny, possession of a firearm during the commission of a violent crime and
armed robbery.  Following a jury trial, he was convicted on all charges and
sentenced to life without the possibility of parole.  

Counsel for Baldwin attached a petition to be relieved to
the final brief stating she had reviewed the record and found the appeal to
be without merit.  After a 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] Baldwin’s appeal and
grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

CURETON, ANDERSON and HUFF, 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 Rule 215, SCACR.
