PER CURIAM:  Quincey Chandler appeals his guilty plea to one count of distribution of crack cocaine, arguing the trial judge failed to comply with the mandates set forth in Boykin v.

Williams, 305 S.C. 116, 406 S.E.2d 357 (1991), we dismiss Chandler’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.
