Appellate Defender Robert M. Dudek, South Carolina Commission of Indigent Defense, Division 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, Office of the Attorney General, all of Columbia; and Solicitor Harold W. Gowdy, III, of Spartanburg, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:� Hershal Jackson appeals his sentence for second-degree burglary and petit larceny.� On appeal, Jackson maintains the trial court erred in imposing a harsher sentence than normally applied because he exercised his right to a jury trial.� After a thorough review of the record and counsel�s 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] Jackson�s appeal and grant counsel�s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HEARN, C.J., and PIEPER, J., and GOOLSBY, A.J., concur.

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