Perry M. Buckner, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2004-UP-465
Submitted September 15, 2004 � Filed September 15, 2004

APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant Appellate Defender Tara S. Taggart, Office of Appellate Defense, of Columbia,� for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, all of Columbia; and Solicitor Randolph Murdaugh, III, of Hampton, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:� Jimmy Lee Duncan was indicted for third-degree burglary and petit larceny.� He was acquitted of the petit larceny charge and convicted of the third-degree burglary charge.� The trial judge sentenced him to five years imprisonment.� An unrelated probationary sentence was also revoked and a concurrent sentence of seven years imposed.� Duncan appeals.�

Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), counsel for Duncan attached to the final brief a petition to be relieved as counsel, stating she had reviewed the record and concluded Duncan�s appeal is without legal merit sufficient to warrant a new trial.� Duncan did not file a separate pro se response.�

After a thorough review of the record pursuant to Anders and State v. Williams, 305 S.C. 116, 406 S.E.2d 357 (1991), we dismiss the appeal and grant counsel�s petition to be relieved.�

APPEAL DISMISSED. [1]
