Unpublished Opinion No. 2006-UP-149

DISMISSED

Assistant Appellate Defender Robert M. Dudek, of Columbia; for Appellant. 

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Donald J. Zelenka, all of Columbia; and Solicitor Barbara R. Morgan, of Aiken, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Roger Dewayne Martin was convicted of murder and possession of a firearm during commission of a violent crime.  He maintains the trial judge erred in sending only the definitions of the three crimes charged in response to the jury's request for an additional charge.  After a thorough review of the record and counsel's brief, pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967) and State v. Williams, 305 S.C. 116, 406 S.E.2d 357 (1991), we dismiss[1] Smith's appeal and grant counsel's motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HEARN, C.J., ANDERSON, and KITTREDGE, JJ., concur.

[1] We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
