v.

Joseph Parham Appellant.

Appeal From Orangeburg County

 Diane Schafer Goodstein, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2007-UP-213

Submitted May 1, 2007 – Filed May 11, 2007

APPEAL DISMISSED

Chief Appellate Attorney Joseph L. Savitz, III, 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 David M. Pascoe, Jr., of Orangeburg, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Parham appeals his conviction and sentence for armed robbery.  He argues the trial court erred by informing him of his right to appeal from his guilty plea, which rendered his guilty plea conditional.  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 find no issues of arguable merit.  Accordingly, we dismiss Parham’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

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