Appellate Defender Robert M. Pachak, South Carolina Commission on Indigent Defense, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, Office of the Attorney General, all of Columbia; and Solicitor Scarlett Anne Wilson, of Charleston, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Troy A. Brown appeals his conviction of burglary, assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature, and kidnapping, and sentence of eighteen, ten, and eighteen years, respectively.   Brown argues the trial court erred by failing to grant his motion for a directed verdict.  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 Brown’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.[1]

APPEAL DISMISSED.
