Chief Appellate Defender Robert M. Dudek, of
Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Alan Wilson, Chief Deputy
Attorney General John W. McIntosh, and Senior
Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott,
all of Columbia; and Solicitor Isaac McDuffie Stone
III, of Beaufort, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Julius H. Griffin appeals his conviction for trafficking
crack cocaine, arguing the trial court erred in refusing to instruct the jury on
the lesser-included offenses of possession of crack cocaine with intent to
distribute and possession of crack cocaine. After a thorough review of the

(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.
