v.

Appellant.

Appeal From York County

Lee S. Alford, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2005-UP-127

Submitted February 1, 2005 – Filed February
17, 2005

APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant Appellate Defender Tara S. Taggart, of
Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry D. McMaster, Chief Deputy
Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley
W. Elliott, all of Columbia; and Solicitor Thomas E. Pope, of York, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Brandy Lynn Kline Pickelsimer
pled guilty to possession of crack cocaine, possession of a Schedule IV controlled
substance with intent to distribute, and trafficking in cocaine.  Pickelsimer
argues on appeal that her guilty plea did not comply with the mandates set forth
in Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238 (1969).  Her appellate attorney attached
to the final brief a petition to be relieved as counsel, stating she reviewed
the record and concluded Pickelsimer’s appeal is without merit.  Pickelsimer
did not file a pro se response. 

After a thorough review of the record
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 petition to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

and 220(b)(2), SCACR.
