The State, Respondent,

v.

Tashon Sampson, Appellant.

Appeal From Williamsburg County

 Paula H. Thomas, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2008-UP-524

Submitted September 2, 2008 – Filed
September 9, 2008   

APPEAL DISMISSED

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

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Donald J. Zelenka, all
of Columbia; and Solicitor Cecil Kelly Jackson, of Sumter, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  A
jury found Tashon Sampson guilty of murder, attempted armed robbery, criminal
conspiracy, and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent
crime.  Sampson argues the trial court
erred in allowing the State to amend its indictment after it had rested its
case to state the offense took place on February 18, 2003, when the original indictment
indicated the crimes occurred on February 17, 2003.  After a thorough review of the record and
counsel’s 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
Sampson’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.[1] 

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HEARN, C.J., and HUFF and GEATHERS, JJ., concur.

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