APPEAL DISMISSED
Appellate Defender Kathrine H. Hudgins, of Columbia, for Appellant.
Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, and Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, all of Columbia; and Solicitor Robert M. Ariail, of Greenville, for Respondent.
PER CURIAM: Melvin Thomason appeals his convictions and sentences for armed robbery and assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature, arguing the circuit court erred in refusing to direct a verdict of acquittal for the armed robbery charge because the State failed to prove a bottle of wine constituted a deadly weapon. 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[1] Thomason's appeal and grant counsel's motion to be relieved.
APPEAL DISMISSED.
HUFF, A.C.J., GEATHERS, J., and CURETON, A.J., concur.
[1] We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
