UNPUBLISHED OPINION
Date: June 1, 2012.
Appeal From Lancaster County Appellate Case No. 2010-172606, Brian M. Gibbons, Family Court Judge
LaNelle Cantey DuRant, of Columbia, for Appellant.
Attorney General Alan Wilson, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, and Senior Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, all of Columbia; and Solicitor Douglas A. Barfield, Jr., of Lancaster, for Respondent.
PER CURIAM:
Joseph A. C. filed an appeal pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), of the family court's order adjudicating him delinquent on the charge of committing a lewd or lascivious act on a minor under the age of sixteen years, arguing the family court erred in denying his motion for a directed verdict. We dismiss the appeal as interlocutory. See In the Interest of Lorenzo B., 307 S.C. 439, 439, 415 S.E.2d 795, 795 (1992) ("An order adjudicating a juvenile to be a delinquent is not immediately appealable. Instead, an appeal may only be taken after the imposition of final judgment at the dispositional hearing."). In addition, we grant counsel's motion to be relieved.
We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
APPEAL DISMISSED.
WILLIAMS, THOMAS, and LOCKEMY, JJ., concur.
