APPEAL DISMISSED

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

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Donald J. Zelenka,
of Columbia; Solicitor John Gregory Hembree, of Conway; for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Johnny Andrew Nealy appeals
from his guilty plea to two counts of murder, first-degree lynching, criminal
conspiracy, and possession of a knife during a violent crime.  Nealy argues
the plea did not comply with the due process mandates of Boykin v. Alabama,
395 U.S. 238 (1965).  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] Nealy’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to
be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

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

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