PER CURIAM:  John Floyd appeals his conviction of second degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor and sentence of twenty years’ imprisonment.  Floyd argues the trial court erred by admitting improper character evidence.  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 Floyd’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved. [1]

APPEAL DISMISSED. 

ANDERSON, WILLIAMS, and KONDUROS, JJ., concur.
