Unpublished Opinion No. 2004-UP-382
Submitted April 21, 2004 – Filed June 18, 2004


APPEAL DISMISSED


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

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott; and Solicitor Warren B. Giese, all of Columbia, for Respondent.


PER CURIAM:  Michelle Heatley pled guilty to one count of exploitation of a vulnerable adult, two counts of breach of trust, and two counts of bank fraud.  The circuit court sentenced her to ten years imprisonment for exploitation, ten years imprisonment for each count of breach of trust, and five years imprisonment on each count of bank fraud, the sentences to run concurrently.  Additionally, the circuit court ordered Heatley to pay restitution to the victims.  Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Heatley’s counsel attached a petition to be relieved.  Heatley 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 Heatley’s appeal and grant counsel’s petition to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED. [1]

GOOLSBY, HOWARD, and BEATTY, JJ., concurring.


[1] Because oral argument would not aid the Court in resolving any issue on appeal, we decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215 and 220(b)(2), SCACR.
