The State, Respondent,

v.

Courtney Folk, Appellant.

Appeal From Bamberg County

 Doyet A. Early, III, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No.  2009-UP-274

Submitted May 1, 2009 – Filed June 2, 2009

APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender Eleanor Duffy Cleary, of Columbia, for
Appellant.

 Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott,
of Columbia; and Solicitor Barbara R. Morgan, of Aiken, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Courtney Folk appeals his guilty plea and sentence for trafficking
crack cocaine, arguing the plea judge erred in accepting his plea without
advising him of his right to a jury trial or his right to confront his accusers.  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.

HEARN, C.J., THOMAS, and KONDUROS, JJ.,
concur.

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