Ronnie Russell Williams, Appellant.

Appeal From Richland County

Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2009-UP-065

Submitted February 2, 2009 – Filed

APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender Kathrine 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, and
Solicitor Warren Blair Giese, all of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER
CURIAM:  Ronnie Russell Williams appeals his guilty pleas to entering a bank with the intent to steal, failure
to stop for a blue light, and possession of a stolen vehicle and concurrent sentences
of twenty years, three years, and thirty days, respectively.  Williams argues
the plea court failed to satisfy the mandates of Boykin v. Alabama, 395
U.S. 238 (1969), by failing to grant his motion to relieve counsel.  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 the appeal and grant counsel's motion to be relieved.[1] 

APPEAL DISMISSED.

SHORT, THOMAS, and GEATHERS, JJ., concur.

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