The State,        Respondent,

v.

Tyrone Cameron,        Appellant.

Appeal From Clarendon County
Thomas W. Cooper, Jr., Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2003-UP-403
Submitted April 18, 2003 – Filed June 17, 2003

APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant Appellate Defender Aileen P. Clare, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Charles H. Richardson, all of Columbia;  and Solicitor Cecil Kelley Jackson, of Sumter; for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Tyrone Cameron was indicted for assault and battery with intent to kill and criminal domestic violence of a high and aggravated nature (CDV HAN).  Following a jury trial he was convicted of  CDV HAN and sentenced to eight years in prison.  Cameron argues the trial court erred in declining to give the jury an instruction on self-defense.

Cameron’s counsel attached to the brief a petition to be relieved as counsel, stating after his review of the record he found the appeal without merit.  Cameron did not file a separate pro se brief.  After a 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] Cameron’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
