APPEAL DISMISSED

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 Kevin Scott Brackett, of York, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Marquis D. R. Mackins was convicted of four counts of assault of a high and aggravated nature and one count of discharging a firearm into an occupied vehicle and sentenced to an aggregate twenty years' imprisonment.  Mackins appeals, arguing the trial court erred in admitting hearsay testimony in violation of Mackins's right to confrontation and cross-examination.  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 the appeal and grant counsel's motion to be relieved.[1]

APPEAL DISMISSED.

FEW, C.J., and SHORT and WILLIAMS, JJ., concur.
