Appeal From Horry County

Edward B. Cottingham, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No.  2010-UP-493

Submitted November 1, 2010 – Filed
November 8, 2010

APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender Kathrine H. Hudgins, 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; and Solicitor J. Gregory Hembree, of Conway, for
Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Evangeline
Pointer appeals her guilty plea for forgery, third offense.  Pointer argues the
plea court erred in accepting her guilty plea because the State failed to
establish a factual basis on the record to support a third offense.  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 the appeal and
grant counsel's motion to be relieved.[1]

APPEAL
DISMISSED.

HUFF,
KONDUROS, and LOCKEMY, JJ., concur.

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