APPEAL DISMISSED

---

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

Deputy Director of Legal Services Teresa A. Knox, Legal Counsel Tommy Evans, Jr., and Legal Counsel J. Benjamin Aplin, Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, all of Columbia; and Solicitor Barbara R. Morgan, of Aiken, and Solicitor Thomas E. Pope, of York, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Tracy Mathis appeals his guilty plea and the resulting revocation of his probation, arguing the trial court erred by sentencing him to four years imprisonment for breaking into a motor vehicle and revoking his probation without evidence his failure to report was willful.  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 Mathis’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved. [1]

APPEAL DISMISSED. 

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

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