Appeal From Lexington County

William P. Keesley, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No.
2005-UP-405

Submitted June 1, 2005 – Filed June 24, 2005

APPEAL DISMISSED

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

Attorney General Henry
Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh,
Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, Office of the
Attorney General, all of Columbia; and Solicitor Donald V. Myers, of
Lexington, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Nyikrenda
Keith appeals her guilty plea for accessory after the fact of murder.  The
trial judge sentenced Keith to fifteen years imprisonment.

Pursuant to Anders v. California,
386 U.S. 738 (1967), counsel for Keith attached to the final brief a petition to
be relieved as counsel, stating he had reviewed the record and concluded Keith’s
appeal is without legal merit sufficient to warrant a new trial.  Keith did
not file a separate pro se response.

After a thorough review of the
record pursuant to Anders and State v. Williams, 305 S.C. 116, 406
S.E.2d 357 (1991), we dismiss the appeal and grant counsel’s petition to be
relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.[1]

HEARN, C.J., BEATTY and SHORT, JJ.,
concur.

[1]  Because oral argument would not aid the court in resolving
the issues on appeal, we decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule
215, SCACR.
