Unpublished Opinion No. 2003-UP-362
Submitted March 26, 2003 - Filed May 21, 2003

APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant Appellate Defender Aileen P. Clare, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh and Assistant Deputy Attorney General Charles H. Richardson, all of Columbia; and Solicitor Druanne D. White, of Anderson, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Terry Gene Kendall pled guilty to grand larceny with a value of more than $5,000.  He was sentenced to five years, suspended upon the service of five years probation.  Kendall’s appellate counsel filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).  Counsel additionally submitted a petition to be relieved from representation, asserting there are no directly appealable issues of arguable merit.  Kendall did not file a pro se response with the Court.

After a 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. [1]

APPEAL DISMISSED.
