Assistant Appellate Defender Tara S. Taggart, of Columbia, for Appellant.

PER CURIAM: Appellant, Stacey Lee Morris, pled guilty to assault and battery with intent to kill.  The trial judge sentenced Morris to ten years.  Morris' counsel attached to the brief a petition to be relieved as counsel, stating that she had reviewed the record and concluded this appeal lacks merit.  Morris did not file a separate pro se brief.  We dismiss pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967) and State v. Williams, 305 S.C. 116, 406 S.E.2d 357 (1991).  Counsel's petition to be relieved is granted.1
