PER CURIAM:
Richard Fletcher Ellisor appeals his commitment pursuant to the South Carolina Sexually Violent Predator Act, arguing the trial court erred in admitting testimony concerning his prior criminal convictions. Ellisor also filed a pro se brief. After a thorough review of the record and all briefs 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 the appeal and grant counsel's motion to be relieved.
We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
APPEAL DISMISSED.
