APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender Robert M. Pachak, South Carolina Commission on
Indigent Defense, 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 Barbara R. Morgan, of Aiken, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Heyward Johnson appeals his convictions of trafficking
crack cocaine and possession of marijuana with intent to distribute.  Johnson
claims the trial court erred when it admitted his statements in violation of Jackson

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.

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