Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Donald J. Zelenka, all of Columbia; and Jerry W. Peace, of Greenwood, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Shondray Martin appeals his convictions and sentences for of murder, conspiracy to commit armed robbery, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a violent crime.  He maintains the trial court erred by allowing the solicitor to argue in closing arguments that Martin was accusing him of being involved in a conspiracy.  Martin also asserts numerous pro se arguments.  After a thorough review of the record, counsel’s brief, and Martin’s pro se brief 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[1] Martin’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

ANDERSON, HUFF and BEATTY, JJ., concur.
