Unpublished Opinion No.  2007-UP-203
Submitted May 1, 2007 – Filed May 9, 2007   


APPEAL DISMISSED


Assistant Appellate Defender Robert M. Dudek, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, all of Columbia; and Solicitor Robert M. Arail, of Greenville, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  William Archie McFalls appeals his conviction of committing a lewd act on a minor and sentence of fifteen years.  He maintains the trial court erred in failing to charge the jury that reasonable doubt could arise from a lack of evidence.  After a thorough review of the record, counsel’s brief, and McFalls’ pro se 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] McFalls’ appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

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


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