APPEAL DISMISSED
Appellate Defender Taylor Davis Gilliam, of Columbia,
for Petitioner.
Attorney General Alan McCrory Wilson and Assistant
Attorney General D. Russell Barlow, II, both of
Columbia, for Respondent.
PER CURIAM: Petitioner seeks a writ of certiorari from the denial of his
application for post-conviction relief (PCR). Because there is sufficient evidence
to support the PCR court's finding that Petitioner did not knowingly and
intelligently waive his right to a direct appeal, we grant certiorari on Petitioner's
Question One pursuant to White v. State, 263 S.C. 110, 208 S.E.2d 35 (1974), and
proceed with our review of the direct appeal pursuant to Anders v. California, 386
U.S. 738 (1967). We deny certiorari on Petitioner's Question Two.
After review pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), this appeal is
dismissed. Counsel's motion to be relieved as counsel for the direct appeal is
granted.
APPEAL DISMISSED. 1
WILLIAMS, C.J., THOMAS, J., and LOCKEMY, A.J., concur.
