Appeal From Greenville County

Michael G. Nettles, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No.   2009-UP-406

Submitted September 1, 2009 – Filed
September 2, 2009

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 Robert M. Ariail, of Greenville, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Roscoe N.
Gatewood appeals his guilty plea under North Carolina v. Alford, 400
U.S. 25 (1970), to assault with the intent to kill and assault of a high and
aggravated nature.  Gatewood argues the trial court erred by not ensuring his
plea complied with the mandates set forth in Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S.
238 (1969).  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 the appeal and grant counsel's motion to be relieved.[1]

APPEAL
DISMISSED. 

HUFF,
THOMAS, and PIEPER, JJ., concur.

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