Dominique Gallman,        Appellant.

Appeal From Chester County
Paul E. Short, Jr., Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2004-UP-268
Submitted February 20, 2004 � Filed April 19, 2004��

APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant Appellate Defender Aileen P. Clare, 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 John R. Justice, of Chester, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:� Dominique Gallman appeals his conviction for second-degree burglary.� Gallman�s appellate counsel has petitioned to be relieved as counsel, stating she has reviewed the record and has concluded Gallman�s appeal is without merit.� The issue briefed by counsel concerns whether the trial court erred in denying Gallman�s motion for a directed verdict of not guilty.� Gallman 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 Gallman�s appeal and grant counsel�s petition to be relieved.¹

APPEAL DISMISSED.
