The State, Respondent,

v.

Doran Washington, Appellant.

Appeal From Lexington County

 Edward W. Miller, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2008-UP-169

Submitted March 3, 2008 – Filed March 12,
2008   

APPEAL DISMISSED

Chief Attorney Joseph L. Savitz, III, of Columbia, for Appellant.

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

PER CURIAM: Doran Washington appeals his guilty plea to three
counts of attempted armed robbery, arguing his guilty plea failed to conform
with the mandates set forth in Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238 (1969).  Specifically,
Washington maintains the trial court erred by accepting his guilty plea
without an affirmative showing his plea was intelligent and voluntary.  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] Washington’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL
DISMISSED.

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

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