Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, Office of the Attorney General, of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Appellant, Lawrence McCoy, was indicted for and pled guilty to three counts of distribution of crack cocaine, two counts of distribution of crack cocaine within a half mile of a school or park, and one count of distribution of marijuana.  The trial judge sentenced McCoy to concurrent terms of three years on the marijuana charge and six years on each of the other charges.  McCoy�s counsel attached to the brief a petition to be relieved as counsel, stating that he had reviewed the record and concluded this appeal lacks merit.  McCoy did not file a separate pro se brief.  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).  Counsel�s petition to be relieved is granted.1

APPEAL DISMISSED. 

ANDERSON, HUFF, and WILLIAMS, JJ., concur.
