Appeal From Greenville County
John W. Kittredge, Circuit Court Judge


Unpublished Opinion No. 2003-UP-311
February 20, 2003 – Filed May 6, 2003


APPEAL DISMISSED


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

Attorney Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Charles H. Richardson, all of Columbia;  and Solicitor Robert M. Ariail, of Greenville; for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Lisa Shoemaker Baker was indicted by a Greenville County grand jury for second degree arson.  Following a jury trial, Baker was found guilty and sentenced to six years imprisonment. Baker’s counsel attached to the final brief a petition to be relieved as counsel stating he had reviewed the record and concluded the appeal lacked merit.  After a review of the record and counsel’s brief 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 dismiss [1] Baker’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

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


[1] Because oral argument would not aid the court in resolving the issues on appeal, we decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
