Appeal From Richland County
 Donna S. Strom, Family Court Judge


Unpublished Opinion No. 03-UP-121
Submitted January 10, 2003 – Filed February 13, 2003


APPEAL DISMISSED


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

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Charles H. Richardson, of Columbia; Solicitor Warren Blair Giese, of Columbia; for Respondent.


PER CURIAM:  Valentino M.H., a minor, pled guilty to criminal sexual conduct in the second degree.  He was committed to the Department of Juvenile Justice, suspended upon an indeterminate sentence and placement at a treatment facility.  He was also required to register as a sex offender.  Valentino appeals, arguing the lower court violated the due process clause by requiring him to register as a sex offender.  Appellate counsel has filed a final brief accompanied by a petition to be relieved.  Valentino has not filed a pro se response brief. 

After a thorough review of the record on appeal 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 grant counsel’s petition and dismiss the appeal.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HEARN, C.J., GOOLSBY, and SHULER, JJ., concur.
