State of South Carolina, Respondent.
Appeal From Richland County

APPEAL DISMISSED
Assistant Appellate Defender Eleanor Duffy Cleary, of Columbia, for Appellant.
Assistant Attorney General David E. Spencer, of Columbia, for Respondent.
PER CURIAM: In this case involving a petition for writ of habeas corpus, Heyward Williams appeals the circuit courts order finding the trial court had subject matter jurisdiction to convict him of first-degree burglary. He contends there is insufficient evidence to support the finding that the indictment for first-degree burglary was true billed by the grand jury.
Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), counsel for Williams attached to the final brief a petition to be relieved as counsel, stating she had reviewed the record and concluded Williams appeal is without legal merit sufficient to warrant a new trial. Williams did not file a separate pro se response.
After a thorough 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.
APPEAL DISMISSED. [1]
ANDERSON and BEATTY, JJ., and CURETON, A.J., 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 Rule 215, SCACR.
