Unpublished Opinion No.  2008-UP-409

Submitted July 1, 2008 – Filed July 18,

APPEAL DISMISSED

Joseph L. Savitz, III, South Carolina Commission on Indigent
Defense, Division of Appellate Defense, of Columbia, for Appellant.

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

PER CURIAM: Crawford appeals his Alford plea and
his sentences for assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature.  On appeal, Crawford argues the plea judge erred in
considering statements of the victims’ mothers during the sentencing phase of
the hearing.  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] Crawford’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HEARN, C.J., CURETON and GOOLSBY, A.J.J., concur.

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