Appeal From Williamsburg County
 Paula H. Thomas, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2008-UP-641
Submitted November 3, 2008 Filed November 17, 2008   

APPEAL DISMISSED

Patrick James McLaughlin, of Florence, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Donald J. Zelenka, all of Columbia; and Solicitor Cecil Kelly Jackson, of Sumter, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Joseph Wilson appeals his convictions for murder, criminal conspiracy, attempted armed robbery and possession of a weapon during a violent crime.  Wilson argues the trial court erred in: failing to charge the jury on accessory to murder; failing to charge the jury on manslaughter; allowing the state to proceed with both the charge of armed robbery and possession of a weapon during a violent crime; and granting the state's motion to amend the date on the indictments.  After a thorough review of the record, counsel's brief, and appellant'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[1] Wilson's appeal and grant counsel's motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.  

WILLIAMS, PIEPER, and GEATHERS, JJ., concur.

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