PER CURIAM:� Denorris Laron Pettus appeals his guilty plea to voluntary manslaughter and possession of a firearm during the commission of a violent crime.� Counsel for Pettus attached to the final brief a petition to be relieved as counsel.� Pettus did not file a separate pro se response.

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 Pettus� appeal and grant counsel�s petition to be relieved.[1]

APPEAL DISMISSED.
