v.

Jimmie Alpheus Wilson,       
Appellant.

Appeal From Florence County

B. Hicks Harwell, Jr., Circuit Court
Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2004-UP-087

Submitted December 23, 2003 – Filed February 12, 2004

APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant Appellate Defender Eleanor Duffy Cleary, of Columbia,
for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Charles H. Richardson,
all of Columbia, and Solicitor Edgar Lewis Clements, III,  of Florence, for
Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Jimmie A. Wilson appeals his
convictions for armed robbery.  Wilson’s appellate counsel has petitioned to
be relieved as counsel, stating she has reviewed the record and has concluded
Wilson’s appeal is without merit.  The issue briefed by counsel concerns whether
Wilson’s guilty plea failed to comply with the mandates set forth in Boykin
v. Alabama. [1]   Wilson has not filed any documents
on his own behalf.

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 Wilson’s
appeal and grant counsel’s petition to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

GOOLSBY, HOWARD, and KITTREDGE, JJ., concur.

[1]   395 U.S. 238 (1969).

[2]   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.
