v.

Dexter Lamont
Crawford, Appellant.

Appeal From Florence County

 Michael G. Nettles, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2008-UP-228

Submitted April 1, 2008 – Filed April 11,
2008   

APPEAL DISMISSED

Deputy Chief Attorney for Capital Appeals Robert M. Dudek, 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 Edgar Lewis Clements, III, of Florence, for
Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Dexter Lamont Crawford appeals his
conviction and sentence for two counts of voluntary manslaughter.  On appeal, Crawford
argues the circuit court rendered his guilty plea conditional and therefore invalid
by advising him it was appealable.  Crawford did not file a separate pro se brief.  After a thorough review of the record and 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), we dismiss[1] Crawford’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved. 

APPEAL DISMISSED.

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

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