APPEAL DISMISSED

Chief Attorney Daniel T. Stacey, of Columbia; for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Charles H. Richardson,
Solicitor Warren Blair Giese, all of Columbia; for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Reginald Reed appeals his guilty
plea to fifteen counts of forgery, arguing the trial judge violated the mandate
of Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238 (1965), by accepting a plea that 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] Reed’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.
