v.

Travis Brown,       
Appellant.

Appeal From Charleston County

A. Victor Rawl, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2004-UP-488

Submitted September 15, 2004 – Filed
September 21, 2004

APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant Appellate Defender Tara S. Taggart, Office of Appellate
Defense, 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 Ralph E. Hoisington, of Charleston, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Travis Ray Shelton Brown pled
guilty to failing to stop for a blue light, second-degree burglary, and two
counts of armed robbery.  He was sentenced to three years for failure to stop
and fifteen years for armed robbery and second-degree burglary, all to run concurrent. 
Brown appeals, arguing his guilty plea did not comply with the mandates set
forth in Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238 (1969).  On appeal, counsel
for Brown has filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S.
738 (1967), asserting that there were no meritorious grounds for appeal and
requesting permission to withdraw from further representation.  Brown has not
filed a pro se response.   

After a thorough review of the record pursuant
to Anders and State v. Williams, 305 S.C. 116, 406 S.E.2d 357
(1991), we dismiss the appeal and grant counsel’s petition to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED. [1]

STILWELL, BEATTY and SHORT, JJ., concur.

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