Unpublished Opinion No. 2008-UP-561
Submitted October 1, 2008 Filed October 10, 2008

APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender Robert M. Pachak, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Deputy Director for Legal Services Teresa A. Knox, of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  John A. Miller violated the conditions of his probation by failing to report to his probation agent and getting arrested on additional charges.  His probation was revoked for two years.  Miller appeals his probation revocation, arguing the revocation should be vacated because there was no preliminary hearing.  Miller's counsel has filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and asked to be relieved as counsel for Miller.  Miller did not file a pro se brief.  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 Miller's appeal and grant counsel's motion to be relieved. [1]

APPEAL DISMISSED. 

SHORT, THOMAS, and PIEPER, JJ., concur.

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