Appeal From Richland County
Clifton Newman, Circuit Court Judge


Unpublished Opinion No. 2010-UP-120
Submitted January 4, 2010 – Filed February 11, 2010  


APPEAL DISMISSED


Appellate Defender Robert M. Pachak, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott; and Solicitor Warren Blair Giese, all of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Eric Mance was convicted of assault and battery with intent to kill, armed robbery, and possession of a pistol by a person convicted of a violent crime. Mance appeals arguing the trial court erred in admitting statements he made several weeks prior to the robbery and shooting.  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 Mance's appeal and grant counsel's motion to be relieved.[1] 

APPEAL DISMISSED.

WILLIAMS, PIEPER, and LOCKEMY, JJ., concur. 


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