v.

Tommy D. Busby,       
Appellant.

Appeal From Anderson County

J. C. Buddy Nicholson, Jr., Circuit
Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2003-UP-200

Submitted January 29, 2003 – Filed March 17, 2003

APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant Appellate Defender
Robert M. Pachak, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John
W. McIntosh and Assistant Deputy Attorney General Charles H. Richardson, all
of Columbia; and  Solicitor Druanne Dykes White, of Anderson; for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Tommy Busby appeals his guilty
plea to assault with intent to commit CSC and assault with intent to kill. 
Busby argues the trial court violated the mandate of Boykin v. Alabama,
395 U.S. 238 (1965), by accepting his guilty plea because his plea was not knowingly
and voluntarily entered.  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] Busby’s appeal and grant counsel’s
motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HEARN, C.J., GOOLSBY and SHULER,
JJ., concur.

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