Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, and Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliot, of Columbia; and Solicitor Warren B. Giese, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Kurtino Damon Weathersbee appeals his convictions for armed robbery, first-degree burglary, and kidnapping, as well as his sentence of three concurrent terms of eighteen years imprisonment.  Weathersbee contends the trial court erred by admitting evidence of his drug use.   After a thorough review of the record, counsel’s brief, and Weathersbee’s pro se 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] Weathersbee’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
