 J. Mark Hayes, II, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2008-UP-408

Submitted July 1, 2008 – Filed July 18,
2008  

APPEAL DISMISSED

Chief Attorney Joseph L. Savitz, III, South Carolina Commission,
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 Kevin Scott Brackett, of York, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Eric
Crawford appeals his guilty plea and sentence, arguing his sentence is
unconstitutionally disproportionate.  Crawford also filed a pro se brief, in which he argues he did not understand some questions asked by the
trial judge during the guilty plea hearing.  After a thorough review of the record, counsel’s brief, and Crawford’s 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] Crawford’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL
DISMISSED.

HEARN, C.J.,
CURETON and GOOLSBY, A.J.J., concur.

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