PER CURIAM:� Raymond C. Shackelford was indicted for infliction of great bodily injury on a child and unlawful child neglect.� He pled guilty as charged.� The trial court sentenced him to twenty years and ten years, respectively, with the sentences concurrent and credit give for time served.� Shackelford�s counsel attached to the final brief a petition to be relieved as counsel stating she had reviewed the record and concluded the appeal lacked merit.� Shackelford filed a pro se response.

We dismiss 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 hold there are no directly appealable issues that are arguable on their merits.� Accordingly, we dismiss Shackelford�s appeal and grant counsel�s petition to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
