Fred Griffin, Appellant.

Appeal from York County
 John C. Hayes, III, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No.  2009-UP-156
Submitted March 2, 2009 Filed March 30, 2009

APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender Kathrine H. Hudgins, of Columbia, for Appellant.

J. Benjamin Aplin, of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Fred Griffin appeals his probation revocation, arguing the trial court erred in revoking his probation for failing to pay restitution, failure to report, and absconding supervision without making a finding that the failure to pay restitution was willful.  After a thorough review of the record, counsel's brief, and Griffin'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 the appeal and grant counsel's motion to be relieved.[1] 

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HEARN, C.J., PIEPER and LOCKEMY, JJ., concur.

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