PER CURIAM:  Derrick A. Mack was convicted of possession of cocaine with intent to distribute and possession of crack cocaine with intent to distribute.  He was sentenced to ten years, plus a fine of $50,000 for each charge, to be served concurrently.  Mack’s appellate counsel filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).  Counsel additionally submitted a petition to be relieved from representation, asserting there are no directly appealable issues of arguable merit.  Mack did not file a pro se response with the Court.

After a review of the record pursuant to Anders and State v. Williams, 305 S.C. 116, 406 S.E.2d 357 (1991), we dismiss the appeal and grant counsel’s petition to be relieved.[1]
