APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant Appellate Defender Robert M. Pachak, of Columbia,
for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh and Assistant Deputy Attorney General Charles H. Richardson,
all of Columbia; and Solicitor Thomas E. Pope, of York, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Demetrick A. Williamson pled guilty to possession of marijuana
with intent to distribute.  He was sentenced to two and one half years.  Williamson’s
appellate counsel filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386
U.S. 738 (1967).  Counsel additionally submitted a petition to be relieved from
representation, asserting there are no directly appealable issues of arguable
merit.  Williamson filed a pro se response with the Court.

After a 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.
