v.

Appeal From Lexington County

Marc H. Westbrook, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2003-UP-701

Submitted September 17, 2003 – Filed
December 3, 2003

APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant Appellate Defender Eleanor Duffy Cleary, 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; Donald V. Myers, of Lexington, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Maurice Conyers appeals his
guilty plea to one count of assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature. 
Counsel for Conyers attached to the final brief a petition to be relieved as
counsel.  Conyers did not file a separate pro se response. 

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 the appeal
and grant counsel’s petition to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HUFF, STILWELL, and BEATTY, JJ., concur.
