APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender Aileen P. Clare, of Columbia,  for Appellant.

Deputy Director for Legal Services Teresa A. Knox, Legal Counsel Tommy Evans, Jr., and Legal Counsel J. Benjamin Aplin, all of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Kenneth Washington appeals the revocation of his probation.  Washington contends the circuit court committed an abuse of discretion in revoking his probation without a showing of a willful and intentional violation.  After a thorough review of the record, counsel's brief, and Washington's pro se response 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 Washington's appeal and grant counsel's motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.[1]

ANDERSON, SHORT, and WILLIAMS, JJ., concur.

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