APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate
Defender Aileen P. Clare, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh, and Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W.
Elliott, of Columbia; Solicitor Warren B. Geise, for Respondent.

PER
CURIAM:  Marcus Antonio Woods appeals his guilty pleas and
sentence of fourteen years imprisonment for second-degree criminal sexual
conduct with a minor and resisting arrest, arguing the plea court failed to
comply with the mandates set forth in Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238
(1969), in accepting his plea. After a thorough review of the record, counsel’s brief,
and Woods’ pro se 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] Woods’ appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
