v.

Kevin McMeans, Appellant.

Appeal From Greenwood County
�Wyatt T. Saunders, Jr, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2008-UP-034
Submitted January 1, 2008 � Filed January 11, 2008��

APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant Appellate Defender Eleanor Duffy Cleary, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Deputy Director for Legal Services Teresa A. Knox,� �Legal Counsel Tommy Evans, Jr., and Legal Counsel J. Benjamin Aplin, all of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:� Kevin McMeans appeals the revocation of his suspended sentence.� McMeans argues the circuit court committed an abuse of discretion by revoking his suspended sentence because the court ignored his justifiable explanations for his violations.� McMeans�s counsel attached to the brief a petition to be relieved as counsel, stating that she had reviewed the record and concluded this appeal lacks merit.� McMeans did not file a separate pro se brief.� After a thorough review of the record and counsel�s brief 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 dismiss[1] McMeans� appeal and grant counsel�s petition to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HUFF and PIEPER, JJ., and GOOLSBY, A.J., concur.

[1] We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
