Unpublished Opinion No. 2008-UP-506
Submitted September 2, 2008 Filed September 5, 2008  

APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender Eleanor Duffy Cleary, 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 Cecil Kelly Jackson, of Sumter, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Tyrone Singletary appeals his convictions for rioting, taking a hostage, assaulting a correctional officer, carrying a weapon, and inciting a riot.  Singletary's counsel claims the trial court erred in admitting a video depiction of the prison dormitory because it was highly inflammatory and its probative value was outweighed by its prejudicial value.  Singletary also filed a pro se brief.  After a thorough review of the record, counsel's brief, and Singletary's pro se 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 Singletary's appeal and grant counsel's motion to be relieved.[1]

APPEAL DISMISSED.

ANDERSON, WILLIAMS, and KONDUROS, JJ.,

concur.

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