PER CURIAM
Amber Portwood appeals her convictions for felony driving under the influence, resulting in death; reckless homicide; and unlawful possession of Xanax, arguing the trial court erred by refusing to instruct the jury on the lesser-related offense of involuntary manslaughter. 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.
