APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender M. Celia Robinson, of Columbia, for Appellant.

J. Benjamin Aplin, of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: William T. Boyce appeals the revocation of his probation.  Boyce argues the circuit court erred as a matter of law, abused its discretion, and violated his right to due process of law by revoking his probation when he was not arrested for his probation violations until over two years after the probation arrest warrants were issued.  After a thorough review of the record, counsel's brief, and Boyce'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] Boyce's appeal and grant counsel's motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

WILLIAMS, PIEPER, and LOCKEMY, JJ., concur.

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