v.

Octavius Conneil Neely, Appellant.


Appeal From York County
Lee S. Alford, Circuit Court Judge


Unpublished Opinion No. 2011-UP-357
Submitted June 1, 2011 – Filed June 30, 2011   


APPEAL DISMISSED


Appellate Defender Robert Pachak, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Alan Wilson, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, and Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, all of Columbia; and Solicitor Kevin S. Brackett, of York, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Octavius Conneil Neely appeals his conviction for possession of crack cocaine with intent to distribute, possession of crack cocaine with intent to distribute within proximity of a public park, possession of marijuana, and carrying a pistol unlawfully.  On appeal, his counsel argues the trial court improperly charged the jury that a permissive inference of intent to sell may be made from possession of more than one gram of crack cocaine, but failed to tell the jury they are free to reject the inference.  Neely raised several additional issues in his pro se brief.  After a thorough review of the record, counsel's brief, and Neely'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. 

FEW, C.J., HUFF and KONDUROS, JJ., concur.
