APPEAL DISMISSED
Appellate Defender Aileen P. Clare, of Columbia, for Appellant.
Teresa A. Knox, Tommy Evans Jr., and J. Benjamin Aplin, of Columbia, for Respondent.
PER CURIAM: James Leslie Rose, Jr., appeals the circuit courts revocation of his probation from his conviction for aggravated stalking. Rose argues the circuit court erred in revoking his probation. We disagree. The determination of whether or not to revoke probation is within the trial courts discretion. State v. Pauling, 371 S.C. 435, 430, 639 S.E.2d 680, 681 (Ct. App. 2006). Our authority to review this determination is confined to correcting errors of law unless the lack of a legal or evidentiary basis indicates the circuit judges decision was arbitrary and capricious. Id. Here, Rose admitted he violated the terms of his probation. Further, the record demonstrates an evidentiary basis for the circuit courts decision. Roses counsel has petitioned to be relieved as counsel, stating that he has reviewed the record and has concluded Roses appeal is without merit. Rose has not filed a pro se brief.
After a thorough 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 hold there are no directly appealable issues that are arguable on their merits. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal and grant counsels petition to be relieved.[1]
APPEAL DISMISSED.
HEARN, C.J., HUFF and KITTREDGE, JJ., concur.
[1] We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
