APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant Appellate Defender Aileen P. Clare, Office
of Appellate Defense, 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 Druanne Dykes White,
of Anderson, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Larry Dorsey pled guilty to
assault and battery with intent to kill and possession of a weapon during a
violent crime.  Dorsey 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 reviewed
the record and concluded Dorsey’s appeal was without merit.  Dorsey filed a
pro se response. 

After a thorough review of the record
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 the appeal and
grant counsel’s petition to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
