Appeal From Colleton County
Carmen T. Mullen, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2008-UP-441
Submitted August 1, 2008 Filed August 6, 2008   

APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender Katherine H. Hudgins, 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 Issac McDuffie Stone, III, of Beaufort, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  While on probation, Stephen Southall pled guilty to two counts of possession with intent to distribute crack cocaine and one count of distribution of crack cocaine, and was sentenced to concurrent terms of ten years imprisonment for each offense.  As a result, Southall's probation was revoked for one year, to run concurrent with the sentences imposed for his guilty plea.  Southall argues the trial court erred by considering parole eligibility when sentencing.  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 Southall's appeal and grant counsel's motion to be relieved.[1]

APPEAL DISMISSED. 

KONDUROS, J., CURETON, A.J., and GOOLSBY, A.J., concur.

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