In The Court of Appeals

In the Interest
of Edward Harold J., a Minor under the Age of Seventeen, Appellant.

Appeal From Lexington County

 Richard W. Chewning, III, Family Court
Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2008-UP-344

Submitted July 1, 2008 – Filed July 9,
2008   

APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate
Defender Robert M. Pachak, 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 Donald V. Myers, of Lexington, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Edward Harold J. pleaded guilty to one count of
second-degree burglary and one count of grand larceny.  He appeals, arguing his
guilty plea failed to comply with the mandates set forth in In re Gault,
387 U.S. 1 (1967).  Specifically, he maintains the circuit court erred by failing
to advise him of his right to cross-examine the State’s witnesses.  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] Edward Harold J.’s appeal and grant counsel’s petition 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.
