The State,        Respondent,

v.

Robert Tyree McKoy,        Appellant.


Appeal From York County
John C. Hayes, III, Circuit Court Judge


Unpublished Opinion No. 2003-UP-375
Submitted February 20, 2003 - Filed May 28, 2003   


APPEAL DISMISSED


Assistant Appellate Defender Robert M. Pachak, of Columbia; for Appellant.

Deputy Director for Legal Services Teresa A. Knox; Legal Counsel Tommy Evans, Jr., Legal Counsel  J. Benjamin Aplin, of Columbia; for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Robert McKoy waived presentment on an indictment for possession of a stolen vehicle, pled guilty, and was sentenced to five years imprisonment suspended upon time served with three years probation.  McKoy was served with a probation revocation arrest warrant for violating various provisions of his probation.  At the probation hearing, McKoy’s probation was revoked, and he was ordered to serve the original five year sentence.

McKoy’s appellate counsel submitted a petition to be relieved as counsel, stating he has reviewed the record and has concluded McKoy’s appeal is without merit.  McKoy did not file any documents with the court.

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 McKoy’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HEARN, C.J., and 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 Rules 215 and 220(b)(2), SCACR.
