v.

Isaiah Walker, Appellant.

Appeal From Spartanburg County
Roger L. Couch, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2010-UP-114
Submitted January 4, 2010 – Filed February 11, 2010   

APPEAL DISMISSED

Rodney Wade Richey, of Greenville, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, and Assistant Deputy Attorney General Donald J. Zelenka, all of Columbia; and Solicitor Harold Gowdy, III of Spartanburg, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Isaiah Frederick Walker appeals his conviction and sentence for murder, arguing the trial court erred in declining to direct a verdict in his favor because the State presented no direct evidence of his guilt.  After thoroughly reviewing 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^[1] Walker's appeal and grant counsel's motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

Williams, Pieper, and Lockemy, JJ., concur.

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