Appeal from McCormick County

Diane S. Goodstein, Post-Conviction Relief Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2009-UP-014

Submitted January 2, 2009 – Filed January 8, 2009

APPEAL DISMISSED

Deputy
Chief Attorney Wanda H. Carter, of Columbia, for Petitioner.

Attorney
General Henry D. McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney John W. McIntosh, Assistant
Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, and Assistant Attorney General Dean
Grigg, all of Columbia, for Respondent. 

PER CURIAM:  Petitioner seeks a writ of certiorari from the
denial of his application for post-conviction relief (PCR). 

Because there is
sufficient evidence to support the PCR judge’s finding that Petitioner is
entitled to a belated appeal, we grant the petition for a writ of certiorari
and proceed with a review of the direct appeal issue pursuant to Davis v.
State, 288 S.C. 290, 342 S.E.2d 60 (1986). 

After consideration
of counsel’s brief and review pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S.
738 (1967), Petitioner’s direct appeal is dismissed,[1] and counsel’s motion to be relieved is granted. 

APPEAL
DISMISSED.

HEARN, C.J., SHORT and KONDUROS, JJ., concur.

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