Appeal From Greenville County
 John C. Few, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2008-UP-525
Submitted September 2, 2008 Filed September 10, 2008   

APPEAL DISMISSED

Deputy Chief Attorney for Capital Appeals Robert M. Dudek, 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 Robert M. Ariail, of Greenville; for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Bobby Roy Stewart appeals his conviction and sentence for failure to stop for a blue light.  On appeal, Stewart maintains the trial court erred in refusing to grant him a directed verdict because the State failed to prove the absence of mitigating circumstances.  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] Stewart's appeal and grant counsel's motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

ANDERSON, WILLIAMS, and KONDUROS, JJ., concur.

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