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, and Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W.
Elliott, all of Columbia; and Solicitor Ralph E. Hoisington, of Charleston, for
Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Walter
Demetrius Brown appeals his guilty plea
for shoplifting, maintaining the trial court erred by accepting his plea without

v. Williams, 305 S.C. 116, 406 S.E.2d 357 (1991), we dismiss[1] Brown’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL
DISMISSED.

ANDERSON, SHORT,
and THOMAS, JJ., concur.

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