Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Donald J. Zelenka, all of Columbia, for Respondent.


Justice BURNETT:

James Earl Reed (Petitioner), who has been sentenced to die for murder, seeks to waive appellate review of the order denying his application for post-conviction relief (PCR) and to be executed. Although Petitioner is competent, he has not made a knowing and intelligent waiver of his right to appellate review. Petitioner has also made a motion to relieve counsel and proceed pro se which we deny.
