APPEAL DISMISSED

for Appellant.

Teresa A. Knox, Tommy Evans, Jr., J. Benjamin Aplin, all of
Columbia; for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Billy Ray Williams
pled guilty to leaving the scene of an accident with personal injury.  The circuit
court sentenced him to four years imprisonment and payment of a $4,000 fine,
suspended on service of two years probation and payment of a $1,000 fine.  Subsequently,
Williams was arrested for noncompliance with the terms of his probation, and
the circuit court revoked his probation, imposing the remainder of his suspended
sentence.  Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Williams’
counsel attached a petition to be relieved.  Williams 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 Williams’ 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.
