APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant Appellate Defender Robert M. Dudek, Office of Appellate Defense, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Legal Counsel Tommy Evans, Jr., Legal Counsel J. Benjamin Aplin, and Deputy Director for Legal Services Teresa A. Knox, S.C. Dept. of Probation, of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Demond Hughes appeals arguing the trial court erred by revoking his probation. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Hughes’ counsel attached a petition to be relieved stating that he has reviewed the record and found the appeal to be without merit.  Hughes did not file a separate pro se brief.

After a thorough review of the record pursuant to Anders and State v. Williams, 305 S.C. 116, 406 S.E.2d 357 (1991), we dismiss the appeal and grant counsel’s petition to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.[1]

ANDERSON, J., HUFF and WILLIAMS, JJ., concur.
