PER CURIAM:  Following a jury trial on July 14-16, 2003, Terry Lee Davis was found guilty of armed robbery and grand larceny.  Davis was sentenced to concurrent sentences of life in prison without the possibility of parole for armed robbery and five years for grand larceny.  On appeal, counsel for Davis has filed a brief pursuant to Anders v.

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 counsel�s petition to be relieved.
