Appeal From Horry County
Edward B. Cottingham, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2008-UP-610
Submitted November 3, 2008 – Filed November 6, 2008

APPEAL DISMISSED

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 Donald J. Zelenka, Office of the Attorney General, all of Columbia; and Solicitor J. Gregory Hembree, of Conway, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  William Sofia appeals his conviction of murder and assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature, and consecutive sentences of thirty and five years, respectively.  Sofia argues the trial court erred by failing to charge the jury on involuntary manslaughter.  After a thorough review of the record and both briefs 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 Sofia’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved. [1]

APPEAL DISMISSED. 

WILLIAMS, PIEPER, and GEATHERS, JJ., concur.

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