APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender LaNelle C. DuRant, 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 David M. Pascoe, Jr., of Orangeburg, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  John
N. Swinton appeals from his guilty plea
for obtaining property by false pretenses between one thousand and five
thousand dollars.  On appeal, Swinton argues his plea did not comply with the
mandates of 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.

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

pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
