Chief Appellate Defender Robert M. Dudek, of Columbia, and Tommy McKnight, pro se, for Appellant.

Attorney General Alan Wilson, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Donald J. Zelenka, and Solicitor Daniel E. Johnson, all of Columbia, for Respondent.

Williams, 305 S.C. 116, 406 S.E.2d 357 (1991), we dismiss¹ the appeal and grant counsel's motion to be relieved.
