Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, and Assistant Deputy Attorney General
Salley W. Elliott, all of Columbia; and Solicitor Harold W. Gowdy, III, of

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. 

WILLIAMS,
PIEPER, and LOCKEMY, JJ., concur.

Rule 215, SCACR.
