The State,        Respondent,

v.

Avery Davenport,        Appellant.

Appeal From Richland County
Costa M. Pleicones, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2003-UP-001
Submitted October 22, 2002 – Filed January 6, 2003   

APPEAL DISMISSED

Tara  Shurling, of Columbia; for Appellant.

Attorney General Charles M. Condon; Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh; Assistant Deputy Attorney General B. Allen Bullard; Assistant Deputy Attorney General Charles H. Richardson, of Columbia; Warren Blair Giese, of Columbia; for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Avery Davenport appeals his convictions and sentences for first degree criminal sexual conduct and petit larceny.  Counsel for Davenport attached to the final brief a petition to be relieved as counsel.  Davenport did not file a separate pro se response. 

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 Davenport’s appeal and grant counsel’s petition to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

CONNOR, STILWELL, and HOWARD, JJ., concur.
