Unpublished Opinion No. 2008-UP-436

Submitted August 1, 2008 – Filed August 5,

APPEAL DISMISSED

Deputy Chief Attorney for Capital Appeals Robert M. Dudek, 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 B. Giese, all of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Nathaniel Wilson appeals his guilty plea to assault and battery of a
high and aggravated nature.  He maintains his guilty plea failed to conform
with the mandates set forth in Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238 (1969).  Specifically,
Wilson asserts he was not advised of his right to confront the witnesses
against him.  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] Wilson’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL
DISMISSED.

KONDUROS, J., CURETON, A.J., and GOOLSBY, A.J.,
concur.

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