v.

Chad Odell Leonard,       
Appellant.

Appeal From York County

Lee S. Alford, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No.  2005-UP-087

Submitted February 1, 2005 – Filed February
7, 2005

APPEAL DISMISSED

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

Attorney General Henry D. McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh, and Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott,
all of Columbia; and Solicitor Thomas E. Pope, of York, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Leonard appeals after pleading
guilty to possession of marijuana second offense, possession of cocaine second
offense, and possession of crack cocaine second offense.  Leonard argues his
pleas were not made knowingly or voluntarily and thus, did not comply with the
requirements of Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238 (1969).  Pursuant to
Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Leonard’s counsel attached
a petition to be relieved stating that he has reviewed the record and found
the appeal to be without merit.  Leonard did not file a separate pro
se brief.

After a thorough review of the record pursuant
to Anders 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. [1]

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

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