Appellate Defender Kathrine H. Hudgins, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, all of Columbia; and Solicitor Robert Mills Ariail, of Greenville for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  A jury found Darrell Black guilty of distribution of crack cocaine.  Black argues the trial court erred in refusing to grant his motion for a mistrial.  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 Black’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.[1] 

APPEAL DISMISSED.
