PER CURIAM: Peter Edward Duke pled guilty to criminal sexual conduct with a minor in the second degree and lewd act upon a child. He was sentenced to seventeen years imprisonment for criminal sexual conduct with a minor in the second degree and fifteen years imprisonment for lewd act upon a child, with the sentences to run concurrently. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Dukes counsel attached a petition to be relieved. Duke did not file a pro se response.
After review of the record 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 Dukes appeal and grant counsels petition to be relieved.
APPEAL DISMISSED. [1]
CONNOR, STILWELL, and HOWARD, JJ., concur.
[1] Because oral argument would not aid the Court in resolving any issue on appeal, we decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215 and 220(b)(2), SCACR.
