v.

Vino Antwaan Gill,        Appellant,

Appeal From York County
Lee S. Alford, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2003-UP-612
Submitted August 20, 2003 – Filed October 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, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Charles H. Richardson, all of Columbia;   and Solicitor Thomas E. Pope, of York, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Vino Antwaan Gill appeals from his guilty plea to disturbing schools, arguing his sentence, though technically legal, was unconstitutionally severe.  Gill’s counsel attached to the brief a petition to be relieved as counsel, stating that she had reviewed the record and concluded this appeal lacks merit.  After a thorough 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] Gill’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HEARN, C.J., CONNOR and ANDERSON, JJ., concur.
