APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender Robert M. Pachak, South Carolina Commission on Indigent Defense, 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 Barbara R. Morgan, of Aiken, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Heyward Johnson appeals his convictions of trafficking crack cocaine and possession of marijuana with intent to distribute.  Johnson claims the trial court erred when it admitted his statements in violation of Jackson v.

Williams, 305 S.C. 116, 406 S.E.2d 357 (1991), we dismiss the appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved. [1]

APPEAL DISMISSED.

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