Unpublished Opinion No.  2003-UP-213

Submitted January 29, 2003 - Filed March

APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant 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 Charles H. Richardson,
all of Columbia; Solicitor Donald V. Myers, of Lexington; for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Archie Judge pleaded guilty
to failing to stop for a blue light.  Judge now appeals, arguing the trial court
violated the mandate of Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238 (1965), by accepting
his guilty plea because his plea was not knowingly and voluntarily entered. 
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] Judge’s appeal and grant counsel’s
motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HEARN, C.J., GOOLSBY and SHULER, JJ., concur.

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