Submitted March 19, 2004 – Filed May 18, 2004

APPEAL DISMISSED

Acting Chief Attorney Joseph L. Savitz III, of Columbia,
for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry D. McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott,
all of Columbia; and Solicitor Warren Blair Giese, of Columbia, for Respondent.

                   PER CURIAM: Michael Craig
Washington pled guilty to second-degree burglary, grand larceny, and malicious
injury to property.  The circuit court sentenced him to twelve years imprisonment
for burglary, ten years imprisonment for grand larceny, and five years imprisonment
for malicious injury to property, the sentences to run concurrently.  Pursuant
to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Washington’s counsel attached
a petition to be relieved.  Washington filed 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 Washington’s appeal and grant counsel’s
petition to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED. [1]

GOOLSBY, HOWARD, and BEATTY, JJ., concurring.

[1] Because oral argument would not aid the Court in resolving
any issue on appeal, we decide this case without oral argument pursuant to
Rule 215 and 220(b)(2), SCACR.
