In The Court of Appeals

The State,        Respondent,

v.

Pamela Adkins,        Appellant.


Appeal From Lexington County
James R. Barber, Circuit Court Judge


Unpublished Opinion No. 2003-UP-525
Submitted July 1, 2003 – Filed September 2, 2003 


APPEAL DISMISSED


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

Deputy Director for Legal Services Theresa A. Knox, Legal Counsel Tommy Evans, Jr. and Legal Counsel J. Benjamin Aplin, all of Columbia, for Respondent.


PER CURIAM:  Pamela Adkins appeals the circuit court’s revocation of her probation for her conviction for bank fraud.  Adkins’s appellate counsel has petitioned to be relieved as counsel, stating he has reviewed the record and has concluded Adkins’s appeal is without merit.  The issue briefed by counsel concerns whether the trial court erred by allegedly assessing the extent of her drug use in reliance on facts not in evidence and its own speculation.  Adkins did not file a separate pro se brief.

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 Adkins’s appeal and grant counsel’s petition to be relieved.1

APPEAL DISMISSED.

GOOLSBY, BEATTY, and KITTREDGE, 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.
