 Michelle J. Childs, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No.  2009-UP-184

Submitted April 1, 2009 – Filed May 4,
2009

APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender Eleanor Duffy Cleary, of Columbia, for
Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh, and Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W.
Elliott, and Solicitor Warren B. Giese, all of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Willie Lee Jones pled guilty to reckless homicide
after killing a passenger in his vehicle while speeding.  On appeal Jones
argues the trial court erred by accepting his plea because it did not comply
with Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238 (1969).    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.
