In The Matter Of The Care And Treatment Of Jackie Dodson, Appellant.


Appeal From Greenville County
Larry R. Patterson, Circuit Court Judge


Unpublished Opinion No. 2009-UP-418
Submitted September 1, 2009 – Filed September 3, 2009   


APPEAL DISMISSED


Appellate Defender LaNelle C. DuRant, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, and Assistant Attorney General Deborah R.J. Shupe, all of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Jackie Dodson appeals from the order of the circuit court committing him to long term care, control, and treatment as a sexually violent predator.  He argues the trial judge erred in allowing the State's witness to testify regarding detailed information Dodson related during the course of an evaluation.  After a thorough review of the record, counsel's brief, and Dodson's pro se 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 the appeal and grant counsel's motion to be relieved.[1]

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HEARN, C.J., and KONDUROS and LOCKEMY, JJ., concur. 


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