PER CURIAM:  Kareem Jabbar Leaphart appeals his convictions for distribution of crack cocaine and resisting arrest, arguing the trial court erred by refusing to direct a verdict of acquittal.

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. 

SHORT, WILLIAMS, and GEATHERS, JJ., concur.
