Unpublished Opinion No. 2004-UP-453
Submitted July, 7, 2004 Filed August 26, 2004

APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant Appellate Defender Eleanor Duffy Cleary, 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:  Lashone Tremel Bailey appeals his conviction for armed robbery.  Bailey argues the trial judge erred in accepting his guilty plea because the plea failed to comply with the mandates set forth in Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238 (1969).  Bailey's counsel attached to the brief a petition to be relieved as counsel, stating that she had reviewed the record and concluded this appeal lacks merit.  Bailey did not file a separate pro se brief.  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] Bailey's appeal and grant counsel's motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

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

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