UNPUBLISHED OPINION
Submitted February 1, 2012.
Appeal From Williamsburg County George C. James, Jr., Circuit Court Judge.
Senior 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 Salley W. Elliott, all of Columbia; and Solicitor Ernest A. Finney, III, of Sumter, for Respondent.
PER CURIAM.
Carlton McFadden appeals his convictions for voluntary manslaughter and possession of a firearm during the commission of a violent crime, arguing the circuit court erred in charging the jury on the law of voluntary manslaughter when no evidence of heat of passion existed. 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.
APPEAL DISMISSED.
PIEPER, KONDUROS, and GEATHERS, JJ., concur.
