for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Charles H. Richardson,
all of Columbia; and Solicitor J. Gregory Hembree, of Conway, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Jim D. Conyers pled
guilty to voluntary manslaughter and assault and battery with intent to kill
and was sentenced to seventeen years imprisonment for voluntary manslaughter
and fifteen years imprisonment for assault and battery with intent to kill,
the sentences to run concurrently.  Pursuant to Anders v. California,
386 U.S. 738 (1967), Conyers’ counsel attached a petition to be relieved.  Conyers
did not file a pro se response.

After review of the record 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 Conyers’ appeal and grant counsel’s petition
to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

on appeal, we decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215
and 220(b)(2), SCACR.
