APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender Aileen P. Clare, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, and
Solicitor Warren Blair Giese, all of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Jermaine Nelson appeals his sentence for two counts of
second-degree burglary and one count of strong armed robbery.  On appeal,

California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and State v. Williams, 305 S.C.
116, 406 S.E.2d 357 (1991), we dismiss[1] Nelson’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL
DISMISSED.

HEARN,
C.J., CURETON and GOOLSBY, A.J.J., concur.  

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