PER CURIAM:  Robert Dexter Brown appeals his convictions and sentences for assault and battery with intent to kill, assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature, and kidnapping.  He contends the trial court erred in admitting some prior bad acts related to the victim.  After a thorough review of the record, counsel's brief, and Brown'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^[1] Brown's appeal and grant counsel's petition to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
