J. C. Buddy Nicholson, Jr., Circuit Court
Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2010-UP-180

Submitted January 4, 2010 – Filed March 1,
2010

APPEAL DISMISSED

Deputy Chief Appellate Defender Wanda H.
Carter, of Columbia, for Appellant.

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

PER CURIAM:  Brian
Jacob Terrell appeals his convictions and
sentences on five charges of lewd act on a child and two counts of assault and
battery of a high and aggravated nature, arguing his guilty pleas were not given
voluntarily and therefore should not have been accepted by the trial judge.  Terrell's counsel attached a petition to be relieved
as counsel, stating that she reviewed the record and concluded the appeal
lacked merit.  After a 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] Terrell's appeal and
grant counsel's petition to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

SHORT, THOMAS, and
KONDUROS, JJ., concur.

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