APPEAL DISMISSED

---

Appellate Defender Aileen P. Clare, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Donald J. Zelenka, all of Columbia; and Solicitor Donald V. Myers, of Lexington, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Darryl Richburg appeals his conviction and sentence for murder, first-degree  burglary, and criminal conspiracy.  On appeal, Richburg argues his sentence is unconstitutionally disproportionate, and therefore amounts to cruel and unusual punishment, because when he entered the victim’s home, he did not intend to do any harm.  Richburg did not file a separate pro se brief.  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[1] Richburg’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved. 

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HEARN, C.J., PIEPER, J., and CURETON, A.J., concur.
