APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender Eleanor Duffy Cleary, of Columbia, 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 Donald V. Myers, of Lexington; for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Harlan Hayes appeals his convictions and sentences for armed robbery and possession of a firearm during the commission of a violent crime.  Hayes argues the trial court erred by admitting hearsay into evidence.  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 Hayes's appeal and grant counsel's motion to be relieved. [1]

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HEARN, C.J., SHORT and KONDUROS, JJ., concur.   

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