Assistant Appellate Defender Robert M. Pachak, of Columbia, for Appellant.
Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster,� Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Charles Richardson, all of Columbia;� and Solicitor Harold W. Gowdy, III, of Spartanburg, for Rspondent.
PER CURIAM:� Jimark Geter appeals his convictions for two counts of assault and battery with intent to kill.� The trial judge sentenced Geter to eighteen years imprisonment for each charge.� The sentences were to be served concurrently.
Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), counsel for Geter attached to the final brief a petition to be relieved as counsel, stating he had reviewed the record and concluded Geter�s appeal is without legal merit sufficient to warrant a new trial.� Geter did not file a separate pro se response.
After a thorough review of the record pursuant to Anders and State v. Williams, 305 S.C. 116, 406 S.E.2d 357 (1991), we dismiss the appeal and grant counsel�s petition to be relieved.
APPEAL DISMISSED.
