APPEAL DISMISSED
Assistant Appellate Defender Robert M. Pachak, of Columbia; for Appellant.
Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Charles H. Richardson, of Columbia; and Solicitor Harold W. Gowdy, III, of Spartanburg; for Respondent.
PER CURIAM: Brian E. Salters was convicted of trafficking in cocaine and was sentenced to seven years imprisonment. On appeal, counsel for Salters argues the trial judge erred by refusing to suppress the cocaine because the arresting officer lacked probable cause to stop him. In his pro se brief, Salters reiterates counsels argument above and, in addition, argues the trial judge erred by refusing to instruct the jury as to the operational requirements regarding taillights on motor vehicles. After a thorough review of the record, counsels brief, and Salters pro se 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] Salterss appeal and grant counsels motion to be relieved.
APPEAL DISMISSED.
HEARN, C.J., CURETON and GOOLSBY, JJ., concur.
[1] We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
