v.

Phillips, Appellant.

Appeal From York County

John C. Hayes, III, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No.  2010-UP-392

Submitted August 2, 2010 – Filed August
25, 2010

APPEAL DISMISSED

Deputy Chief Appellate Defender Wanda H. Carter, of Columbia, for
Appellant.

Benjamin Aplin, of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Jerome
Phillips appeals his plea of no contest for possession of crack cocaine, second
offense.  On appeal, Phillips contends
the plea court erred in accepting his plea because he did not make an informed
and intelligent decision to plead guilty.  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 the appeal and grant counsel's
motion to be relieved.[1]

APPEAL
DISMISSED.

FEW, C.J., KONDUROS and LOCKEMY, JJ., concur.

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