In The Court of Appeals

The State,        Respondent,

v.

Leroy Minor,        Appellant.

Appeal From York County
John C. Hayes, III, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2003-UP-582
Submitted July 15, 2003 – Filed October 2, 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. and Legal Counsel J. Benjamin Aplin, all of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:        Leroy Minor appeals the revocation of his probationary sentence.  In November 2000, he was convicted of driving under the influence, third, and was sentenced to two years imprisonment and a $4,000 find, suspended upon the service of sixty days, a fine, and three years probation.  Minor’s probation was revoked in May 2002 due to violations.

Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), counsel for Minor attached to the final brief a petition to be relieved as counsel, stating he had reviewed the record and concluded Minor’s appeal is without legal merit sufficient to warrant a new trial.  Minor did not file a separate pro se response.

After a thorough review of the record pursuant to Anders and State v. Williams, 305 S.C. 116, 406 S.E.2d 357 (1991), we dismiss the appeal and grant counsel’s petition to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

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