v.

Freddie Lee Glover,        Appellant.


Appeal From Lexington County
Marc H. Westbrook, Circuit Court Judge


Unpublished Opinion No. 2005-UP-080
Submitted February 1, 2005 – Filed February 4, 2005


APPEAL DISMISSED


Assistant Appellate Defender Robert M. Pachak, Office of Appellate Defense, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, Office of the Attorney General, all of Columbia;  and Solicitor Donald V. Myers, of Lexington, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Freddie Lee Glover was convicted of burglary in the first degree, armed robbery, and kidnapping.  He was sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.  Glover’s appellate counsel filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).  Counsel additionally submitted a petition to be relieved from representation, asserting there are no directly appealable issues of arguable merit.  Glover filed a pro se response with this court.

After a review of the record as required by Anders 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 this appeal and grant counsel’s petition to be relieved.1

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HEARN, C.J., KITTREDGE and WILLIAMS, JJ., concur.


          1  We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rules 215 and 220(b)(2), SCACR.
