The State, Respondent,

v.

Dennis Hunter, Appellant.

Appeal From Darlington County

John M. Milling, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2009-UP-582

Submitted November 2, 2009 – Filed
December 3, 2009

APPEAL DISMISSED

Senior Appellate Attorney Joseph L.
Savitz, III, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster,
Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney
General Donald J. Zelenka, all of Columbia; Solicitor Jay Hodge, Jr., of
Cheraw, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Dennis Hunter appeals his guilty plea to
murder and corresponding forty-year sentence.  He also pled guilty to armed
robbery, criminal conspiracy, and possession with intent to distribute
marijuana, and was sentenced to concurrent terms of twenty-five, five, and five
years' imprisonment, respectively.  Hunter argues the plea court erred in
accepting his guilty plea to murder because the State conceded he was not the
triggerman.  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[1] the appeal and grant counsel's motion to be relieved.

APPEAL
DISMISSED.

HEARN., C.J., CURETON,
A.J., and GOOLSBY, A.J., concur.

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