Appellate Defender Robert M. Pachak, 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 Warren B. Giese, of Columbia, for Respondent.
PER CURIAM: Butler Gatson appeals from his guilty plea to two counts of assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature and one count of autobreaking. On appeal, Gatson argues his plea did not comply with the mandates of Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S 238 (1969). 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 the appeal and grant counsel's motion to be relieved.[1]
APPEAL DISMISSED.
