APPEAL DISMISSED
__________

Senior Appellate Defender Joseph L. Savitz III, of
Columbia, and Cornell D. Tyler, pro se, for
Appellant.

Attorney General Alan Wilson, Chief Deputy
Attorney General John W. McIntosh, and Assistant
Deputy Attorney General Donald J. Zelenka, all of
Columbia; and Solicitor J. Strom Thurmond Jr., of
Aiken, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Cornell D. Tyler appeals his convictions for murder,
assault and battery with intent to kill, and possession of a weapon during the
commission of a violent crime, arguing the trial court erred in neglecting to
instruct the jury on the defense of alibi. Additionally, Tyler filed a pro se
brief. After a thorough review of the record and all briefs 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 the appeal and grant counsel's motion to be
relieved.1

APPEAL DISMISSED.

FEW, C.J., and HUFF and SHORT, JJ., concur.

We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
