The State, Respondent,

v.

James Prather, Appellant.

Appeal From Aiken County

 Doyet A. Early, III, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2008-UP-554

Submitted October 1, 2008 – Filed October
9, 2008   

APPEAL DISMISSED

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

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, of
Columbia; and Solicitor Barbara R. Morgan, of Aiken, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: James Prather appeals his convictions and sentences
for trafficking cocaine and possession with intent to distribute cocaine within
the proximity of a public park.  On appeal, Prather argues the trial court
erred in denying his motion to suppress evidence obtained through an unlawful
search.  Prather also asserts a similar pro se argument.  After a thorough review of the record, counsel’s
brief, and Prather’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] Prather’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL
DISMISSED.

ANDERSON, WILLIAMS, and KONDUROS, JJ., concur.

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