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,
Assistant Attorney General Deborah R.J. Shupe, all of Columbia; Solicitor
Harold W. Gowdy, III, of Spartanburg, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Christopher Alan Green appeals his guilty pleas to two
counts of criminal solicitation of a minor and sentence of two concurrent ten-year
sentences.  He argues the sentence violates Article 1, § 15 of the South
Carolina Constitution because it is cruel and unusual.  After a thorough review of the record, counsel’s
brief, and Greene’s pro se 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 the appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.[1]

APPEAL
DISMISSED.

HEARN,
C.J., SHORT and KONDUROS, JJ., concur.

pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
