THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA
In The Court of Appeals

The State,        Respondent,

v.

Phillip Anthony Baccous,        Appellant.

Appeal From Marion County
B. Hicks Harwell, Jr., Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion 2003-UP-712
Submitted September 17, 2003 – Filed December 9, 2003

APPEAL DISMISSED

Senior Assistant Appellate Defender Wanda H. Haile, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, and Assistant Deputy Attorney General Charles H. Richardson, all of Columbia; and Edgar Lewis Clements, III, of Florence, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Phillip Anthony Baccous appeals his guilty pleas to two counts of distribution of cocaine and one count of distribution of marijuana.  Counsel for Baccous attached to the final brief a petition to be relieved as counsel.  Baccous did not file a separate pro se response. 

After a review of the record as required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and State v. Williams, 305 S.C. 116, 406 S.E.2d 357 (1991), we hold there are no directly appealable issues that are arguable on their merits.  Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal and grant counsel’s petition to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HUFF, STILWELL, and BEATTY, JJ., concur.
