v.

Tiffany A. Stanley,

Appeal From Horry County

Steven H. John, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No.  2003-UP-369

Submitted February 20, 2003 – Filed
May 22, 2003

APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant Appellate Defender Robert M. Pachak, of Columbia;
for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster; Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh; Assistant Deputy Attorney General Charles H. Richardson,
of Columbia; Solicitor John Gregory Hembree, of Conway; for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  On appeal, Tiffany Stanley’s
appellate counsel argues that Stanley’s guilty plea failed to comply with the
mandates set forth in Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238 (1969). 

Stanley’s appellate counsel submitted a petition to
be relieved as counsel, stating he has reviewed the record and has concluded
Stanley’s appeal is without merit.  Stanley did not file any documents with
the court.

After a review of the record as required by Anders
v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and State v. Williams, 305 S.C.
116, 406 S.E.2d 357 (1991), we hold there are no directly appealable issues
that are arguable on their merits.  Accordingly, we dismiss Stanley’s appeal
and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved. [1]

APPEAL DISMISSED.

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

[1]   Because oral argument would not aid the court
in resolving the issues on appeal, we decide this case without oral argument
pursuant to Rules 215 and 220(b)(2), SCACR.
