UNPUBLISHED OPINION
Submitted January 3, 2012
Appeal From Charleston County Kristi Lea Harrington, Circuit Court Judge
Chief Appellate Defender Robert M. Dudek, 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 Solicitor Scarlett Anne Wilson, of Charleston, for Respondent.
PER CURIAM
Nathaniel McGee appeals his conviction for murder, arguing the trial court erred in refusing to instruct the jury that McGee should be given the benefit of every reasonable doubt after the jury asked for further instruction on the first element of self-defense. Additionally, McGee filed a pro se brief. After a thorough review of the record and briefs 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.
SHORT, WILLIAMS, and GEATHERS, JJ., concur.
