Appeal From Lancaster County

Kenneth G. Goode, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2004-UP-415

Submitted April 21, 2004 - Filed June

APPEAL DISMISSED

Senior Assistant Appellate Defender Wanda P. Hagler, 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 John R. Justice, of Chester, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Roger Alan Beck pled guilty
to criminal domestic violence of a high and aggravated nature, malicious injury
to real property greater than $5,000.00, second-degree arson, and use of vehicle
without permission.  He was sentenced to concurrent sentences of 10 years for
criminal domestic violence of a high and aggravated nature, five years for malicious
injury to property, 23 years for second-degree arson, and one year for use of
a vehicle without permission.  Beck appeals, arguing his guilty plea did not
comply with the mandates set forth in Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238
(1969).  On appeal, counsel for Beck has filed a brief pursuant to Anders
v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), asserting that there were no meritorious
grounds for appeal and requesting permission to withdraw from further representation. 
Beck has not filed a pro se response. 

After a thorough review of the record pursuant
to Anders and State v. Williams, 305 S.C. 116, 406 S.E.2d 357
(1991), we dismiss the appeal and grant counsel’s petition to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED. [1]

GOOLSBY, HOWARD, and BEATTY, JJ., concur.

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