Appeal From Spartanburg County
�J. Derham Cole, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2010-UP-016
Submitted January 4, 2010 � Filed January 25, 2010�

APPEAL DISMISSED

Acting Chief 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 Salley W. Elliott, all of Columbia; and Solicitor Harold W. Gowdy, III, of Spartanburg, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:� David Fitch appeals his convictions and sentences for criminal sexual conduct with a minor in the first and second degrees and lewd act upon a child, arguing the circuit court erred in refusing to direct a verdict in his favor because the State failed to present any substantial evidence of the victim's age at the time of the offenses.� 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] Fitch's appeal and grant counsel's motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.�

HUFF, A.C.J., GEATHERS, J., and CURETON, A.J., concur.�

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