APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant Appellate Defender Eleanor Duffy Cleary, of Columbia, of Laurens; for Appellant.

Legal Counsel Tommy Evans, Jr.; Legal Counsel J. Benjamin Aplin; Deputy Director for Legal Services Teresa A. Knox, of Columbia; for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Levardis Holiday appeals the revocation of six months of his probation.  Holiday’s appellate counsel has petitioned to be relieved as counsel, stating he has reviewed the record and has concluded Holiday’s appeal is without merit.  The issue briefed by counsel concerns whether the trial court judge abused his discretion in revoking Holiday’s probation.  Holiday has not filed any materials on his own behalf.

After a review of the record as required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and State v. Williams, 305 S.C. 116, 406 S.E.2d 357 (1991), we hold there are no directly appealable issues that are arguable on their merits.  Accordingly, we dismiss Holiday’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HEARN, C.J., and GOOLSBY and SHULER, JJ., concur.
