APPEAL DISMISSED

Stephan Victor Futeral, of Mt. Pleasant, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, and Assistant Deputy Attorney General Donald J. Zelenka, all of Columbia; and Solicitor Ralph E. Hoisington, of Charleston, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Robert Antonio Steed was found guilty of criminal conspiracy; first-degree burglary; armed robbery; assault and battery with intent to kill (ABIK); and murder.  He was sentenced to five years for conspiracy; thirty years for first-degree burglary; thirty years for armed robbery; twenty years for ABIK; and thirty years for murder.

Steed's appellate counsel filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).  Counsel additionally submitted a petition to be relieved from representation, asserting there are no directly appealable issues of arguable merit.  Steed filed a pro se response with the Court.

After a review of the record pursuant to Anders and State v. Williams, 305 S.C. 116, 406 S.E.2d 357 (1991), we dismiss the appeal and grant counsel's petition to be relieved. [1]

APPEAL DISMISSED.
