v.

Appeal From Richland County

 Diane Schafer Goodstein, Circuit Court
Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2008-UP-394

Submitted July 1, 2008 – Filed July 15,
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, and
Solicitor Warren Blair Giese, all of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER
CURIAM:  Stacy Wright appeals his guilty plea to trafficking
cocaine and possession of cocaine.  He maintains his guilty plea failed to
conform with the mandates set forth in Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238
(1969), because the plea court failed to adequately inform him of the
constitutional rights he waived by entering a guilty plea.  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 Wright’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.[1]

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.
