In The Court of Appeals

The State, Respondent,

v.

Rashad Graham, Appellant.

Appeal From Aiken County

 James E. Lockemy, Circuit Court Judge

 Unpublished Opinion No. 2008-UP-216

Submitted April 1, 2008 – Filed April 7,
2008

APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender Lanelle C. Durant, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, all
of Columbia; and Solicitor Barbara R. Morgan, of Aiken, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Rashad Graham appeals his conviction and
sentence for possession with intent to distribute powder cocaine.  On appeal,
Graham argues his guilty plea failed to comply with the mandates set forth in Boykin
v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238 (1969), because the trial court accepted his
guilty plea without requiring the State to produce the results of its chemical
analysis of the cocaine.  Graham did not file a separate pro se brief.  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] Graham’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved. 

APPEAL DISMISSED.

ANDERSON, SHORT, and THOMAS, JJ., concur.

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