APPEAL DISMISSED

Chief Appellate Defender 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, and Solicitor Warren B. Giese, all of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Larry Mitchell, Jr. appeals his guilty plea to criminal domestic violence of a high and aggravated nature.  Mitchell argues the trial court erred by accepting his guilty plea without explaining and obtaining a waiver of his right of confrontation.  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 Mitchell's appeal and grant counsel's motion to be relieved. [1]

APPEAL DISMISSED. 

HEARN, C.J., SHORT and KONDUROS, JJ., concur. 

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