Appeal From Sumter County
 Howard P. King, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2011-UP-278
Submitted May 1, 2011 Filed June 8, 2011  

APPEAL DISMISSED

Senior Appellate Defender Joseph L. Savitz, III, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Alan M. Wilson, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, and Assistant Attorney General Donald J. Zelenka, all of Columbia; and Solicitor C. Kelly Jackson, of Sumter, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Mark A. McCoy appeals his conviction for murder, arguing the circuit court erred in failing to instruct the jury on the lessor-included offense of voluntary manslaughter.  Additionally, McCoy filed a pro se brief.  After a thorough review of the record and all briefs 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 the appeal and grant counsel's motion to be relieved.[1]

APPEAL DISMISSED.

FEW, C.J., HUFF and THOMAS, JJ., concur.

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