Deputy Chief Appellate Defender Wanda H. Carter, of Columbia, for Appellant.

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

PER CURIAM:  Travis J. Wright appeals his conviction for assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature, arguing the trial court erred in admitting testimony of prior bad acts into evidence at trial.  After a thorough review of the record, counsel's brief, and Wright'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 the appeal and grant counsel's motion to be relieved.[1]

APPEAL DISMISSED. 

FEW, C.J., PIEPER and LOCKEMY, JJ., concur.
