Chief Attorney Daniel T. Stacey, of Columbia, for Appellant

PER CURIAM: ������ Wayne McKnight was convicted of second degree burglary and sentenced to fifteen years imprisonment.� He appeals.

Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), counsel for McKnight attached to the final brief a petition to be relieved as counsel, stating he had reviewed the record and concluded McKnight�s appeal is without legal merit sufficient to warrant a new trial.� McKnight did not file a separate pro se response.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
