APPEAL DISMISSED

Deputy Chief Appellate Defender for Capital Appeals Robert M.
Dudek, 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 Scarlett A. Wilson, of Charleston, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Darian Antway Meggett appeals his guilty
plea to criminal domestic violence, third offense, and three-year sentence. 
Meggett's counsel argues his plea did not conform to the mandates set forth in Boykin
v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238 (1969).  Meggett filed a separate pro se brief.  After
consideration of both briefs, and review 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.

HEARN, C.J.,
and KONDUROS and LOCKEMY, JJ., concur.

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