Gregoria Coronel Parra,
a/k/a Amelia Vasquez Figueroa, Appellant

Appeal From Richland County
 J. Ernest Kinard, Jr., Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2008-UP-238
Submitted April 1, 2008 Filed April 16, 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, and Solicitor Warren B. Giese, all of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Gregoria Coronel Parra, a/k/a Amelia Vasquez Figueroa, pled guilty to one count of trafficking in cocaine, 28 to 100 grams, and two counts of trafficking in cocaine, less than 28 grams.  On appeal, Parra argues the circuit court improperly accepted her guilty plea without first obtaining her waiver of her right to a jury trial, right to confrontation, and privilege against self-incrimination.  Parra 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] Parra's appeal and grant counsel's motion to be relieved. 

APPEAL DISMISSED.

ANDERSON, SHORT, and THOMAS, JJ., concur.

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