Appeal from Aiken County
Thomas A. Russo, Circuit Court Judge


Unpublished Opinion No. 2009-UP-026
Submitted January 1, 2009 – Filed January 13, 2009


APPEAL DISMISSED


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 Salley W. Elliott, all of Columbia; and Solicitor Barbara R. Morgan, of Aiken, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Grant, appeals his convictions for grand larceny, burglary in the second degree, and two counts of ill treatment toward animals. He argues the trial court erred in denying his motion for a directed verdict where there was insufficient evidence of guilt. After a thorough review of the record and counsel’s 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 Grant’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.[1]

APPEAL DISMISSED.

Huff, Thomas, and Lockemy, JJ., concur.


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