  Kenneth G. Goode, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2008-UP-371

Submitted July 1, 2008 – Filed July 11,
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 Salley W. Elliott,
and Solicitor Warren B. Giese, all of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Paul Demar Jeffcoat appeals his guilty plea to burglary in the second
degree and strong armed robbery.  He maintains his guilty plea failed to
conform with the mandates set forth in Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238
(1969).  Specifically, Jeffcoat asserts he did not meaningfully waive his
rights.  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] Jeffcoat’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.
