UNPUBLISHED OPINION
Submitted May 1, 2013
Appeal From Kershaw County James R. Barber, Circuit Court Judge.
Appellate Defender Robert M. Pachak, of Columbia; and Vincent A. Torress, pro se, for Petitioner.
Attorney General Alan McCrory Wilson, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. Mcintosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, and Assistant Attorney General Brian T. Petrano, all of Columbia, for Respondent.
PER CURIAM:
Petitioner seeks a writ of certiorari from the dismissal of his application for post-conviction relief (PCR).
Because there is sufficient evidence to support the PCR judge's finding that Petitioner did not knowingly and intelligently waive his right to a direct appeal, we grant the petition for writ of certiorari and proceed with a review of the direct appeal issue pursuant to Davis v. State, 288 S.C. 290, 342 S.E.2d 60 (1986).
Petitioner appeals the revocation of his probation. After a thorough review of the record and all briefs 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 Petitioner's appeal and grant counsel's motion to be relieved.
We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
SHORT, THOMAS, and PIEPER, JJ., concur.
