Appeal From York County
 John C. Hayes III, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2004-UP-446
Submitted July 7, 2004 Filed August 25, 2004

APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant Appellate Defender Tara S. Taggart, of the Office of Appellate Defense, 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 Thomas E. Pope, of York, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Jarmise Lamar Cathcart pled guilty to grand larceny, failure to stop for a law enforcement vehicle, and possession of a stolen vehicle.  He was sentenced to concurrent sentences of six years on the possession of a stolen vehicle and grand larceny charges, and three years for the failure to stop for a law enforcement vehicle charge.  Cathcart appeals, arguing his guilty plea did not comply with the mandates set forth in Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238 (1969). 

Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Cathcart's counsel attached a petition to be relieved, stating she has reviewed the record and concluded the appeal lacks merit.  Cathcart filed a pro se response which we have considered.  After a thorough review of the record pursuant to Anders and State v. Williams, 305 S.C. 116, 406 S.E.2d 357 (1991), we dismiss the appeal and grant counsel's petition to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED. [1]

HEARN, C.J., HUFF and KITTREDGE, JJ., concur.
