The State, Respondent,

v.

Kaya C. Henderson, Appellant.

Appeal From Greenville County

Wyatt T. Saunders,
Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2007-UP-444

Submitted October 1, 2007 – Filed October 9, 2007

APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate
Defender Eleanor Duffy Cleary, South Carolina Commission on Indigent Defense, of
Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott,
Office of the Attorney General, of Columbia; and Solicitor Robert M. Ariail, of
Greenville, for Respondent.

PER
CURIAM:  Kaya C. Henderson appeals her guilty pleas to
possession of crack cocaine and one count of forgery.  She maintains her guilty
plea was not intelligent and voluntary because the judge advised her of these
rights in a cursory manner, failing to convey the importance of these rights,
and thus not complying with  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] Henderson’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL
DISMISSED.

HEARN, C.J.,
HUFF and KITTREDGE, JJ., concur.

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