v.

Ernest Teddy Shaw, III, Appellant.

Appeal From Orangeburg County
 James C. Williams, Jr., Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2008-UP-168
Submitted March 3, 2008 Filed March 12, 2008   

APPEAL DISMISSED

Chief Attorney Joseph L. Savitz, III, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, all of Columbia; and Solicitor David M. Pascoe, Jr., of Summerville, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Ernest Shaw appeals his guilty plea to criminal domestic violence of a high and aggravated nature.  On appeal, Shaw maintains the plea court, by advising him of his right to appeal, rendered his plea conditional, and therefore, invalid under our jurisprudence.  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[1] Shaw's appeal and grant counsel's motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HEARN, C.J., and PIEPER, J., and CURETON, A.J., concur.

[1] We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
