PER CURIAM: James Arthur Brown, Jr. was convicted of murder. He was sentenced to life imprisonment. Browns appellate counsel filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).

After a 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 counsels petition to be relieved. [1]
