The State, Respondent,

v.

Raymond Dean Rogers, Appellant.


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


Unpublished Opinion No. 2004-UP-379   
Submitted  April 21, 2004 – Filed June 17, 2004


APPEAL DISMISSED


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

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, of Columbia; and Solicitor Thomas E. Pope, of York, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Raymond Dean Rogers was indicted for and pled guilty to breach of trust with fraudulent intent.  Rogers’ appellate counsel submitted a petition to be relieved as counsel, stating she has reviewed the record and has concluded Rogers’ appeal is without merit.  Rogers filed a pro se brief 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 Rogers’ appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

GOOLSBY, HOWARD, and BEATTY, 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.
