Lyles, 381 S.C. 442, 444-45 , 673 S.E.2d 811, 813 (2009), acknowledges that “a decision of the Court of Appeals dismissing an appeal after conducting a review pursuant to Anders is not a decision on the merits of the appeal, but simply reflects that the appellate court was unable to ascertain a non-frivolous issue which would require counsel to file a merits brief.” The State asserts if the issue was not considered on the merits, McHam still did not show prejudice, as officer safety justified the officer’s actions.
