Unpublished Opinion No.  2008-UP-410

Submitted July 1, 2008 – Filed July 18,

APPEAL DISMISSED

Deputy Chief Attorney Wanda H. Carter, South Carolina Commission
on Indigent Defense, Division of Appellate Defense, of Columbia, for Appellant.

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

PER CURIAM:  Maurice
M. Davis appeals his guilty plea to criminal domestic violence of a high and
aggravated nature and sentence. He argues the plea court erred by failing to
inform him a guilty plea would waive his right to present a defense in this
case.  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] Davis’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.   

APPEAL
DISMISSED.

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

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