The State, Respondent,

v.

Clifford R.
Young, Jr., Appellant.

Appeal From Lee County

Clifton Newman, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2008-UP-407

Submitted July 1, 2008 – Filed July 17,
2008   

APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender Katherine H. Hudgins, 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 C. Kelly Jackson, of Sumter, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Clifford
R. Young, Jr., appeals his guilty plea to criminal sexual conduct with a minor
in the second degree.  He was sentenced to twenty years imprisonment, suspended
upon active service of five years imprisonment and two years probation.  Young
argues the trial court erred by accepting his guilty plea without a sufficient
factual basis.  Young filed a separate pro se brief arguing the
trial court lacked subject matter jurisdiction and his trial counsel was
ineffective.  After a thorough review of the record and both 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 Young’s appeal
and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved. [1]

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.
