The State, Respondent,

v.

Chavis Jordan, Appellant.

Appeal From Chesterfield County

John M. Milling, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2008-UP-235

Submitted April 1, 2008 – Filed April 15,
2008

APPEAL DISMISSED

Chief Attorney Joseph L. Savitz, III, South Carolina Commission,
of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh, and Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W.
Elliott, all of Columbia; and Solicitor Jay E. Hodge, Jr., of Cheraw, for
Respondent.

PER CURIAM: 
Chavis Jordan pled guilty to one count of voluntary manslaughter
and one count of assault and battery with intent to kill.  On appeal, Jordan argues his plea was conditional and therefore invalid under South Carolina law because his
counsel improperly advised him his plea was appealable.  In addition to his Anders brief, Jordan filed a separate pro se response brief raising
three additional issues.  Two of those issues were not preserved for appellate
review, and the third issue should be reviewed in a petition for
post-conviction relief.  After a thorough review of the record, 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), and Jordan’s pro se brief, we dismiss[1] Jordan’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved. 

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HEARN,
C.J., and PIEPER, J., and GOOLSBY, A.J., concur.

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