v.

Albert Spann, Appellant.


Appeal From Aiken County
J. Ernest Kinard, Jr., Circuit Court Judge


Unpublished Opinion No. 2010-UP-198
Submitted March 1, 2010 – Filed March 12, 2010   


APPEAL DISMISSED


Appellate Defender Robert M. Pachak, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, and Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, all of Columbia; and Solicitor Barbara R. Morgan, of Aiken, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Albert Spann appeals his convictions for armed robbery and grand larceny, arguing that the trial judge's charge on reasonable doubt diluted the standard of proof a jury needs to use in properly determining 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[1] the appeal and grant counsel's motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HUFF, THOMAS, and KONDUROS, JJ., concur.


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