Unpublished Opinion No. 2004-UP-374

APPEAL DISMISSED

Chief Appellate Defender Daniel T. Stacey, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General
John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott,
all of Columbia; and Solicitor C. Kelly Jackson, of Sumter; for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Edward Orange pled guilty to armed robbery and
possession of a firearm during the commission of a violent crime, and the circuit
court sentenced him to fourteen years imprisonment for armed robbery and five
years imprisonment for possession of a firearm during the commission of a violent
crime, the sentences to run concurrently.  Pursuant to Anders v. California,
386 U.S. 738 (1967), Orange’s counsel attached a petition to be relieved.  Orange
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 Orange’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.
