Appeal From York County

John C. Hayes, III, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2011-UP-216 

Submitted May 1, 2011 – Filed May 17, 2011

APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender LaNelle C. DuRant, of
Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Alan Wilson,  Chief
Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General
Salley W. Elliott, of Columbia; and Solicitor Kevin Scott Brackett, of York,
for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Nathan
Geremy Blackburn appeals his convictions for first-degree burglary and
financial transaction card theft.  On appeal, Blackburn argues the trial court
erred in admitting Blackburn's confession to  the crimes.  Specifically,
Blackburn contends because the confession was taken out of context, it was
confusing to the jury. Blackburn submitted a pro se brief.  After a thorough review of the record, counsel's brief,
and Blackburn'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] the appeal and grant counsel's
motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

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

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