PER CURIAM:  Otis M. Robinson was convicted of assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature (“ABHAN”) and assaulting a police officer while resisting arrest.  Robinson was sentenced to six years imprisonment for ABHAN and three years imprisonment for assaulting a police officer while resisting arrest, with the sentences to run concurrently.  Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Robinson’s counsel attached a petition to be relieved as counsel.  Robinson did not file a pro se response.

After review of the record 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 Robinson’s appeal and grant counsel’s petition to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED. [1]
