APPEAL DISMISSED

Acting Chief Attorney Joseph
L. Savitz III, Office of Appellate Defense, of Columbia,
for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry
Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh,
Assistant Deputy Attorney General Donald J. Zelenka, of Columbia; and
Solicitor Jay E. Hodge, Jr., of Cheraw, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Jonathan
Lee Morgan appeals his guilty plea to voluntary manslaughter, destruction of
human remains, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a violent
crime.  Morgan argues the trial judge rendered Morgan’s guilty plea
conditional by advising him he had a right to appeal within ten days of
sentencing.  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 Morgan’s appeal
and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.[1]

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HUFF and WILLIAMS, JJ., and
CURETON, A.J. concur.

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