APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender Eleanor Duffy Cleary, South Carolina Commission
of Indigent Defense, Division of Appellate Defense, 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 Edgar L. Clements, III, of Florence, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Tiwan
Graham (Graham) appeals his guilty plea to for voluntary manslaughter.  On appeal, Graham maintains his sentence should be vacated because the trial court
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 Graham’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be
relieved.    

APPEAL DISMISSED. [1]

HUFF, KITTREDGE, and WILLIAMS, JJ., concur.

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