v.

Daniel Shannon, Appellant.

Appeal From Lexington County

 William P. Keesley, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2008-UP-115

Submitted February 1, 2008 – Filed
February 13, 2008   

APPEAL DISMISSED

Deputy Chief Attorney for Capital Appeals Robert M. Dudek, of
Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Donald J. Zelenka, all
of Columbia; and Solicitor Donald V. Myers, of Lexington, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Daniel
Shannon appeals his guilty pleas to
murder, armed robbery, and second-degree arson.  On appeal, Shannon maintains
his guilty pleas failed to conform with the mandates set forth in Boykin v.
Alabama, 395 U.S. 238 (1969), because the plea court failed to advise him
of his right to remain silent.  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[1] Shannon’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL
DISMISSED.

ANDERSON, SHORT, and THOMAS, JJ., concur.

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