PER CURIAM:  Demetreus
Alexander Lewis appeals his guilty pleas and sentences for unlawful carrying of
a pistol, possession with intent to distribute marijuana, possession with
intent to distribute marijuana within proximity of a school or park, possession
of a stolen pistol, kidnapping, and armed robbery, arguing the plea court

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.

HEARN, C.J., THOMAS, and KONDUROS, JJ.,

pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
