Assistant Appellate Defender Aileen P. Clare, of Columbia, for Appellant.

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

PER CURIAM: Roy E. Hook was indicted for possession of marijuana with intent to distribute near a school or park.  Hook pled guilty and was sentenced to ten years imprisonment, suspended upon the service of five years probation, performance of 240 hours public service employment, payment of a $300 fine, completion of substance abuse counseling, and random drug testing.  Hook appeals, arguing that the circuit court erred in revoking his probation.  Counsel for Hook has filed a final brief and submitted a petition to be relieved as counsel.¹  Hook also filed a pro se response. 

After review of the record 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 the appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HEARN, C.J., CURETON and ANDERSON, JJ., concur.
