James R. Barber, III, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2009-UP-464

Submitted October 1, 2009 –October 12,

APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender Elizabeth A. Franklin-Best, 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 B. Giese, all of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Andrew
Leonter Reid appeals his sentence for trafficking in marijuana over ten pounds
but less than one hundred pounds, arguing the trial court abused its discretion
by sentencing Reid to a longer term of incarceration than was received by his
co-defendants.  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 the appeal and grant counsel's motion to be relieved.[1]

APPEAL
DISMISSED. 

Huff, Thomas, and Pieper, JJ., concur.

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