PER CURIAM:  Michael Anthony Farrow appeals the trial
court's decision to toll his probation while he was committed to the custody of
the Department of Mental Health pursuant to the Sexually Violent Predator Act,[1] arguing that the trial court erred by
tolling his probation without conducting a full evidentiary hearing.  After
thoroughly reviewing the record and 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 Farrow's appeal and grant counsel's petition to be relieved.[2] 

APPEAL
DISMISSED.
