v.

 Jay K. Sneed Appellant.

Appeal From Charleston County
Daniel F. Pieper, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2007-UP-028
Submitted January 2, 2007 – Filed January 17, 2007   

APPEAL DISMISSED

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

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh,  and Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, all of Columbia; and Solicitor Ralph E. Hoisington, of Charleston, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Jay K. Sneed appeals his conviction and sentence of armed robbery and possession of a firearm during a commission of a violent crime.  Sneed contends his convictions for armed robbery and possession of a firearm should be reversed because those convictions are inconsistent with his jury acquittal on a kidnapping 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] appellant’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

GOOLSBY, STILWELL, and SHORT, JJ., concur.

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