UNPUBLISHED OPINION

Submitted December 1, 2011

Appeal From Beaufort County Michael G. Nettles, Circuit Court Judge.

Appellate Defender Robert M. Pachak, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Alan Wilson, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, and Assistant Deputy Attorney General Sally W. Elliott, all of Columbia; and Solicitor Isaac McDuffie Stone, III, of Bluffton, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM.

Bryan Poindexter appeals his convictions for first-degree criminal sexual conduct, assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature, and kidnapping, arguing the circuit court erred in giving a jury instruction on reasonable doubt that was confusing and that lessened the State's burden of proof. After a thorough review of the record and all 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.
