Acting Chief Attorney Joseph L. Savitz, III, 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. Elliot, Office of the Attorney General, all of Columbia; and Solicitor Barbara R. Morgan of Aiken, for Respondent. 

PER CURIAM:  Rony Joseph appeals his guilty plea and sentence of six years suspended upon the service of two years probation for possession of cocaine with intent to distribute.

Williams, 305 S.C. 116, 406 S.E.2d 357 (1991), we dismiss[1] Joseph’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

BEATTY, SHORT, and WILLIAMS, JJ., concur.

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