THIS OPINION HAS NO PRECEDENTIAL VALUE. IT SHOULD NOT BE CITED OR RELIED ON AS PRECEDENT IN ANY PROCEEDING EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BY RULE 268(d)(2), SCACR. THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA In The Supreme Court Kenneth Sherman, Petitioner, v. State of South Carolina, Respondent. Appellate Case No. 2014-001364 Appeal From Greenville County Edward W. Miller, Plea Judge D. Garrison Hill, Post-Conviction Relief Judge Memorandum Opinion No. 2015-MO-048 Submitted July 27, 2015 – Filed August 26, 2015 DISMISSED Appellate Defender Benjamin John Tripp, of Columbia, for Petitioner. Attorney General Alan McCrory Wilson and Senior Assistant Deputy Attorney General Karen Christine Ratigan, both of Columbia, for Respondent. PER CURIAM: Petitioner seeks a writ of certiorari from an order denying his application for post-conviction relief (PCR), but finding petitioner did not knowingly and intelligently waive his right to a direct appeal. We deny the petition for a writ of certiorari as to Question II. Because there is sufficient evidence to support the PCR judge's finding that petitioner did not knowingly and intelligently waive his right to a direct appeal, we grant the petition for a writ of certiorari as to Question I and proceed pursuant to Davis v. State, 288 S.C. 290, 342 S.E.2d 60 (1986). Counsel has submitted a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and a motion to be relieved as counsel. Petitioner has not filed a pro se response. Petitioner's appeal is dismissed, pursuant to Rule 220(b)(1), SCACR, after review pursuant to Anders, supra. Counsel's motion to be relieved as counsel is granted. DISMISSED. TOAL, C.J., PLEICONES, BEATTY, KITTREDGE and HEARN, JJ., concur.
