APPEAL DISMISSED
Chief Attorney Joseph L. Savitz, III, of Columbia, for Appellant.
Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, all of Columbia; and Solicitor Thomas E. Pope, of York, for Respondent.
PER CURIAM: Deborah Watkins appeals her convictions for distribution of crack cocaine and distribution of crack cocaine within a half-mile of a school. She asserts the trial judge erred by informing the jury during voir dire that she had committed a prior drug offense. Watkins counsel has filed a petition to be relieved as counsel, stating she has reviewed the record and concluded the appeal is without merit. Watkins has filed a separate pro se brief. After a thorough review of the record and counsels 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] Watkins appeal and grant counsels motion to be relieved.
APPEAL DISMISSED.
HEARN, C.J., HUFF and KITTREDGE, JJ., concur.
