APPEAL DISMISSED

Chief Appellate Defender Joseph L. Savitz, III, of Columbia, for Appellant

Legal Counsel John B. Aplin, of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Calvin Bernard Sanders appeals his probation revocation, arguing the trial court erred in revoking his probation without first affording him an opportunity for allocution.  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 the appeal and grant counsel's motion to be relieved.[1] 

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HUFF, THOMAS, and PIEPER, JJ., concur.

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