Appellate Defender Robert M. Dudek, 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 David M. Pascoe, Jr., of Summerville; for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Eugene King appeals his conviction and sentence for murder, arguing the trial court erred by admitting his confession in violation of Jackson v. Denno, 378 U.S. 368 (1964).  King also asserts numerous pro se arguments.  After a thorough review of the record, counsel’s brief, and King’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] King’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

SHORT, THOMAS, and PIEPER, JJ., concur.

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