v.

William Gregory Shiver Appellant.

Appeal From Richland County

G. Thomas Cooper, Jr., Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2006-UP-008

Submitted January 3, 2006 – Filed January 5, 2006   

APPEAL DISMISSED

Acting Deputy Chief Attorney Wanda P. Hagler, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, and Solicitor Warren B. Giese, all of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  William Shiver appeals his guilty plea and his concurrent sentence of twenty years for kidnapping, carjacking, and two counts of first degree criminal sexual conduct.  Shiver argues the trial court failed to adequately advise him of the sentencing consequences by informing him what the aggregate sentences would be if they ran concurrently, but not consecutively.  After a thorough review of the record and briefs 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 Shiver’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.[1]

GOOLSBY, ANDERSON, and SHORT, JJ., concur.

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