Unpublished Opinion No. 2007-UP-039

Submitted January 2, 2007 – Filed January 19, 2007   

APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant Appellant Defender Robert M. Dudek, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General, Donald J. Zelenka, and Solicitor J. Gregory Hembree, for Respondent. 

PER CURIAM:  Christopher D. Williamson appeals his guilty plea and sentence of six years for four counts of forgery to run concurrent and time served for one count of possession of a stolen automobile.  Williamson argues the plea court failed to adequately advise him of his constitutional rights as required by Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238 (1969).  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] Williamson’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

ANDERSON, HUFF and BEATTY, JJ. concur.

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