Unpublished Opinion No. 03-UP-154
Submitted January 10, 2003 � Filed February 20, 2003��

APPEAL DISMISSED

Senior Assistant Appellate Defender Wanda H. Haile, of Columbia; Kendrick Taylor, of Kingstree, for Appellant.

Deputy Director for Legal Services Teresa A. Knox; Legal Counsel Tommy Evans; Legal Counsel J. Benjamin Aplin, all of Columbia; for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:� Kendrick Leon Taylor appeals the revocation of his probation.� Kendrick�s appellate counsel has petitioned to be relieved as counsel, stating she has reviewed the record and has concluded Kendrick�s appeal is without merit.� The issue briefed by counsel concerns whether his probation violations were willful.� Kendrick has not filed any materials on his own behalf.

After a review of the record as required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and State v. Williams, 305 S.C. 116, 406 S.E.2d 357 (1991), we hold there are no directly appealable issues that are arguable on their merits.� Accordingly, we dismiss Kendrick�s appeal and grant counsel�s petition to be relieved.¹

APPEAL DISMISSED.
