APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender Aileen P. Clare, South Carolina Commission on Indigent Defense, �of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliot, Office of the Attorney General, of Columbia; and Solicitor J. Gregory Hembree, �of Conway, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:� Michael A. Dukes appeals his conviction of trafficking in crack cocaine for which he received a sentence of eighteen years confinement.� He maintains the trial court erred by denying his motion for a directed verdict because the state failed to prove actual or constructive possession.� Dukes also asserts numerous pro se arguments.� After a thorough review of the record, counsel�s brief, and Dukes� 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] Dukes� appeal and grant counsel�s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HEARN, C.J., HUFF and KITTREDGE, JJ., concur.
