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

PER CURIAM:  Corey A. Williams was found guilty of armed robbery, kidnapping, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a violent crime.  Williams was sentenced to thirty, thirty, and five years, concurrent terms of imprisonment.  Williams argues the trial court erred by improperly considering Williams’ decision to go to trial during sentencing.  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 Williams’ 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.
