Unpublished Opinion No.  2004-UP-649

Submitted December 1, 2004 – Filed December

APPEAL DISMISSED

Senior Assistant Appellate Defender Wanda P. Hagler, 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 Barbara R. Morgan, of Aiken, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: George Alvin Demedicis appeals
from his guilty plea to one count of second-degree criminal sexual conduct with
a minor and one count of incest.  Demedicis contends the trial court erred in
accepting his guilty plea without properly advising him of the sentencing consequences
he faced.  Demedicis’s counsel attached to the final brief a petition to be
relieved as counsel, stating she had reviewed the record and concluded this
appeal lacks merit.  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] the appeal and grant counsel’s petition to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

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

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