v.

Donnie Shealy,        Appellant,

Appeal From Lexington County
Marc H. Westbrook, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2003-UP-555
Submitted July 15, 2003 – Filed September 26, 2003   

APPEAL DISMISSED

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

Deputy Director for Legal Services Teresa A. Knox, Legal Counsel Tommy Evans, Jr., Legal Counsel J. Benjamin Aplin, and S.C. Dept. of Probation, Parole and Pardon Services, of Columbia; for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Donnie Shealy appeals from his probation revocation, arguing his right to due process was violated because he was not provided a preliminary hearing.  Shealy’s counsel attached to the brief a petition to be relieved as counsel, stating that he had reviewed the record and concluded this appeal lacks merit.  Shealy submitted a separate pro se letter to the court complaining that his attorney was not handling his case properly by following Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).  After a thorough review of the record, Shealy’s pro se letter, and counsel’s brief pursuant to Anders, 386 U.S. 738, and State v. Williams, 305 S.C. 116, 406 S.E.2d 357 (1991), we dismiss [1] Shealy’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
