Jeffrey Middleton, Appellant.

Appeal From Aiken County
 Doyet A. Early, III, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2008-UP-403
Submitted July 1, 2008 Filed July 17, 2008   

APPEAL DISMISSED

Deputy Chief Appellate Defender Robert M. Dudek, of Columbia, for Appellant.

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

PER CURIAM:  Jeffrey Middleton appeals the revocation of his probation.  Middleton argues the circuit court erred in revoking his probation because his inability to pay restitution was beyond his control.  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] Middleton's appeal and grant counsel's motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HEARN, C.J., CURETON and GOOLSBY, A.J.J., concur.

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