v.

Alphonso Haynesworth, Appellant.

Appeal From Sumter County
�Clifton Newman, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion number 2008-UP-474
Submitted August 1, 2008 � Filed August 11, 2008

APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender Eleanor Duffy Cleary, of Columbia, for Appellant.�

Teresa A. Knox, Deputy Director for Legal Services, Tommy Evans, Jr., Legal Counsel, and J. Benjamin Aplin, Legal Counsel, all of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Alphonso Haynesworth appeals the revocation of his probation.� Haynesworth argues the circuit court�s decision to revoke his probation was arbitrary and capricious because Haynesworth offered valid explanations for failing to meet the conditions of probation.� Haynesworth also submitted a pro se brief.� Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Haynesworth�s counsel attached a petition to be relieved, stating she reviewed the record and concluded this appeal lacks merit.� After a thorough review of the record and both briefs 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] Haynesworth�s appeal and grant counsel�s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

KONDUROS, J., CURETON, A.J., and GOOLSBY, A.J., concur.

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