APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender Joseph L. Savitz, III, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Alan Wilson, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, and Assistant Deputy Attorney General Donald J. Zelenka, all of Columbia; and Acting Solicitor Barry Barnette, of Spartanburg, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM : Leon Jones appeals his conviction of murder, arguing the circuit court erred in failing to instruct the jury on the law of alibi. 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.¹

1 We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

SHORT, WILLIAMS, and GEATHERS, JJ., concur.
