v.

Derron Jermaine King, Appellant.


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


Unpublished Opinion No. 2005-UP-030
Submitted January 1, 2005 – Filed January 13, 2005


APPEAL DISMISSED


Acting Deputy Chief Appellate Defender Wanda P. Haile, of Columbia, for Appellant. 

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

PER CURIAM:  Derron Jermaine King entered guilty pleas under North Carolina v. Alford, 400 U.S. 25 (1970), to two counts of armed robbery and one count each of second-degree burglary, criminal conspiracy, and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime.  King appeals.  Counsel for King attached to the final brief a petition to be relieved as counsel.  King filed a separate pro se response. 

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 King’s appeal and grant counsel’s petition to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

ANDERSON, STILWELL, and SHORT, JJ., concur.
