Cameron Grant Boggs, of Greenville, for Appellant.

Henry Dargan McMaster, Attorney General, John W. McIntosh, Chief Deputy Attorney General, R. Westmoreland Clarkson, Assistant Attorney General, Deborah R.J. Shupe, Assistant Attorney General, all of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Jimmy Ray Turner appeals his commitment under the South Carolina Sexually Violent Predator Act (the Act).� ��Turner argues his confinement is unconstitutional because the Act violates the South Carolina Constitution.� Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Turner�s counsel attached a petition to be relieved, stating he reviewed the record and concluded this appeal lacks merit. �After a thorough review of the record and counsel�s brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), In re McCoy, 360 S.C. 425, 602 S.E.2d 58 (2004) (adopting the Anders procedure for alleged no-merit appeals in sexually violent predator involuntary commitment appeals), and State v. Williams, 305 S.C. 116, 406 S.E.2d 357 (1991), we dismiss[1] Turner�s appeal and grant counsel�s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

SHORT, THOMAS, and PIEPER, JJ., concur.

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