APPEAL DISMISSED
Assistant Appellate Defender Wanda P. Hagler, of Columbia, for Appellant.
Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Charles H. Richardson, all of Columbia; and Solicitor Thomas E. Pope, of York, for Respondent.
PER CURIAM: Randy Allison Railey appeals his conviction for assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature. His appellate counsel has petitioned to be relieved as counsel, stating she has reviewed the record and has concluded his appeal is without merit. The issue briefed by counsel concerns whether the trial court erred in failing to charge the jury regarding the voluntariness of confessions. Railey has not filed any documents 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 Raileys appeal and grant counsels petition to be relieved.1
APPEAL DISMISSED.
GOOLSBY, HOWARD, and KITTREDGE, JJ., concur.
1 Because oral argument would not aid the court in resolving the issues on appeal, we decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rules 215 and 220(b)(2), SCACR.
