APPEAL DISMISSED

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

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, and Assistant Deputy Attorney General Charles H. Richardson, all of Columbia; and Edgar Lewis Clements, III, of Florence, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:� Anthony Terrell S. appeals his guilty plea to assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature.� Counsel for Anthony attached to the final brief a petition to be relieved as counsel.� Anthony did not file a separate pro se response.�

After a review of the record as required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and State v. Williams, 305 S.C. 116, 406 S.E.2d 357 (1991), we hold there are no directly appealable issues that are arguable on their merits.� Accordingly, we dismiss Anthony�s appeal and grant counsel�s petition to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
