Assistant Appellate Defender Robert M. Pachak, 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:  Jason Barnhill pled guilty to robbery and was sentenced to seven years imprisonment.  Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Barnhill’s counsel attached a petition to be relieved as counsel.  Barnhill did not file a pro se response.
