THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA In The Supreme Court Al-Tericke Praylow, Petitioner, v. State of South Carolina, Respondent. ON WRIT OF CERTIORARI Appeal From Newberry County Paul M. Burch, Circuit Court Judge Roger L. Couch, Post-Conviction Judge Memorandum Opinion No. 2008-MO-026 Submitted June 12, 2008 Filed June 16, 2008 APPEAL DISMISSED Appellate Defender Robert M. Pachak, of the South Carolina Commission on Indigent Defense, Division of Appellate Defense, of Columbia, for Petitioner. Attorney General Henry D. McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliot, and Assistant Attorney General Ashley McMahan, all of the Office of the Attorney General, of Columbia, for Respondent. PER CURIAM: Petitioner seeks a writ of certiorari from the denial of his application for post-conviction relief (PCR). Because there is sufficient evidence to support the PCR judge's finding that petitioner did not knowingly and intelligently waive his right to a direct appeal, we grant the petition for a writ of certiorari and proceed with a review of the direct appeal issue pursuant to Davis v. State, 288 S.C. 290, 342 S.E.2d 60 (1986). Counsel for petitioner has filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967) and a petition to be relieved as counsel. Petitioner has not filed a pro se response. After a thorough review of the record pursuant to Anders, we dismiss the appeal and grant the petition to be relieved as counsel. DISMISSED.
