APPEAL DISMISSED


Assistant Appellate Defender Eleanor Duffy Cleary, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, all of Columbia; and Solicitor J. Gregory Hembree, of Conway, for Respondent.


PER CURIAM:  Charles F. Johnson was convicted of second-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor, lewd act on a minor, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.  The circuit court sentenced him to fifteen years imprisonment for second-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor, eight years imprisonment for lewd act on a minor, and three years imprisonment for contributing to the delinquency of a minor, the sentences to run concurrently.  Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Johnson’s counsel attached a petition to be relieved.  Johnson 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 Johnson’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.
