v.

Quinton Daniels, Appellant.


Appeal From Hampton County
Perry M. Buckner, Circuit Court Judge


Unpublished Opinion No. 2010-UP-053
Submitted January 4, 2010 – Filed January 27, 2010   


APPEAL DISMISSED


Deputy Chief Appellate Defender Wanda H. Carter, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, and Assistant Deputy Attorney General Donald J. Zelenka, of Columbia, Solicitor I. McDuffie Stone, III, of Bluffton, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Quinton Daniels appeals his convictions and sentences for murder and possession of a firearm during the commission of a violent crime.  He contends the trial court erred in excusing a juror who did not want to serve for religious reasons without first questioning her if she could be impartial.  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] Daniels' appeal and grant counsel's petition to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

SHORT, THOMAS, and KONDUROS, JJ., concur.


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