Unpublished Opinion No. 207-UP-035
Submitted January 2, 2007 – Filed January 19, 2007   


APPEAL DISMISSED


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

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General, Salley W. Elliot, of Columbia, and Solicitor Robert M. Ariail, of Greenville, for Respondent. 

PER CURIAM:  Ricky Dean Harvey appeals his conviction of criminal sexual conduct with a minor in the second degree, committing a lewd act upon a minor, and his respective concurrent sentences of life without parole and fifteen years.  Harvey argues the trial court abused its discretion by not granting a mistrial after refusing to impanel a new jury.  After a thorough review of the record and counsel’s brief 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[1] Harvey’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

ANDERSON, HUFF and BEATTY, JJ. concur.


[1] We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
