APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender Kathrine H. Hudgins, of Columbia, for
Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, all
of Columbia; and Solicitor C. Kelly Jackson, of Sumter, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Jones appeals his conviction of assaulting a
correctional employee and sentence of three years.  Jones argues the trial
court erred by failing to give the jury charge of the defense of accident.  After a thorough review of the record and counsel’s

v. Williams, 305 S.C. 116, 406 S.E.2d 357 (1991), we dismiss Jones’s appeal
and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved. [1]

APPEAL
DISMISSED. 

ANDERSON, HUFF, and THOMAS, JJ., concur.

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