PER CURIAM
Legerald Dickerson appeals the circuit court's order adjudging him guilty of two counts of direct contempt and sentencing him to two consecutive ninety-day prison terms. He argues the rule of lenity required the circuit court to find him guilty of only one act of contempt and that the circuit court abused its discretion in ordering that his sentences run consecutive to any future sentence. After a thorough review of the record and counsel's brief 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.
We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
