v.

Nicholas G. Macklen, Appellant.

Appeal From Horry County

Larry B. Hyman, Jr., Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2012-UP-106

Submitted February 1, 2012 – Filed
February 22, 2012   

APPEAL DISMISSED

Deputy Chief Appellate Defender Wanda H.
Carter, of Columbia; and Nicholas G. Macklen, pro se, for Appellant.

Attorney General Alan Wilson, 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:  Nicholas
G. Macklen appeals his guilty pleas for first-degree burglary, leaving the
scene of an accident resulting in death, and three counts of leaving the scene
of an accident resulting in great bodily injury, arguing the circuit court
erred in failing to inform him that he was waiving his right to confront
witnesses.  Additionally, Macklen filed a pro se brief.  After a thorough review of the record and all briefs
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.

FEW, C.J., HUFF and SHORT,
JJ., concur.

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