State of South Carolina, Respondent

Appeal From Jasper County
 Jackson V. Gregory, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2004-UP-627 
Submitted December 1, 2004 Filed December 10, 2004

APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant Appellate Defender Robert M. Pachak, of Columbia, for Petitioner.

Assistant Attorney General Adrianne L. Turner, of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Tyrone L. Roberson appeals the circuit court's dismissal of his habeas corpus petition.  Roberson's appellate counsel has petitioned to be relieved as counsel, stating he has reviewed the record and has concluded Roberson's appeal is without merit.  Roberson filed a separate pro se brief.

After consideration of Roberson's pro se brief and review of the record as required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and State v. Williams, 305 S.C. 116, 406 S.E.2d 357 (1991), we hold there are no directly appealable issues that are arguable on their merits.  Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal and grant counsel's petition to be relieved.1

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HUFF, KITTREDGE, and BEATTY, JJ., concur.   

1We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rules 215 and 220(b)(2), SCACR.
