Appeal From Richland County

L. Casey Manning, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2004-UP-258

Submitted February 20, 2004 – Filed April 19, 2004

APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant Appellate Defender Robert M. Pachak, of Columbia,
for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh and Assistant Deputy Attorney General Charles H. Richardson,
all of Columbia; and Solicitor Warren B. Giese, of Columbia, for
Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Travis K. Walters
appeals from his guilty pleas to possession with intent to distribute crack
cocaine and resisting arrest.  Walters argues his guilty pleas failed to comply
with the mandates set forth in Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238 (1969). 
His counsel attached to the final brief a petition to be relieved as counsel,
stating he had reviewed the record and concluded Walters’ appeal was without
merit.  Walters has not filed a pro se brief.

After a thorough review of the record on appeal
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 grant counsel’s petition
and dismiss the appeal. [1]

APPEAL DISMISSED.

GOOLSBY, HOWARD, and KITTREDGE, JJ.,
concur.

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