Appeal From Sumter County

 Howard P. King, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No.  2008-UP-159

Submitted March 3, 2008 – Filed March 12,
2008

APPEAL DISMISSED

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

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh, and Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott,
all of Columbia; and Solicitor Cecil Kelly Jackson, of Sumter, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Thomas
Jefferson Davis appeals his guilty plea to two counts of possession of crack
cocaine with intent to distribute, two counts of possession of crack cocaine
with intent to distribute within proximity of a school, nine counts of
receiving stolen goods, and one count each of possession of cocaine, failure to
stop for a blue light, and shoplifting.  On
appeal, Davis maintains the plea court, by advising him of his right to appeal,
rendered his plea conditional, and therefore, invalid under our jurisprudence.  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] Davis’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.
