Appellant.

Appeal From Lee County

Clifton Newman, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2004-UP-524

Submitted October 1, 2004 – Filed October 14, 2004

APPEAL DISMISSED

Acting Chief Attorney Joseph L. Savitz III, 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 Cecil Kelley Jackson, of Sumter, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Kelly Tention appeals his guilty
plea to unlawful conduct toward a child and contributing to the delinquency
of a minor.  Counsel for Tention attached to the final brief a petition to be
relieved as counsel.  Tention filed 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 Tention’s appeal
and grant counsel’s petition to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

STILWELL, BEATTY, and SHORT, JJ., concur.
