APPEAL DISMISSED

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

Attorney General Henry Dargan
McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney
General Charles H. Richardson, of Columbia; Solicitor Druanne D. White, of Anderson;
for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Terrance White appeals his
conviction of possession of cocaine, arguing the trial judge erred in denying
his motion for directed verdict.  White’s counsel attached to the brief a petition
to be relieved as counsel, stating that she had reviewed the record and concluded
this appeal lacks merit.  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] White’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HEARN, C.J., CONNOR and ANDERSON, JJ., concur.

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