The State, Respondent,

v.

Derek Mims, Appellant.

Appeal from Lexington County

 William P. Keesley, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2008-UP-137

Submitted March 3, 2008 – Filed March 4,
2008   

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 Salley W. Elliot, all of
Columbia; and Solicitor Donald V. Myers, of Lexington, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Derek Mims appeals his guilty
plea for obtaining signature or property
by false pretenses over $1,000 but less than $5,000.  The trial judge sentenced him to thirty months suspended upon the previous service of
two days and three years probation.  Mims claims he was not
made aware of the consequences of his guilty plea so that the acceptance of his
plea by the trial judge was error.  Mims’ counsel attached a petition to be relieved, stating counsel reviewed the record and
concluded this appeal lacks merit.  Mims did not file a pro se brief.  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 Mims’ appeal and grant counsel’s motion
to be relieved.[1]

APPEAL
DISMISSED.

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

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