APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant Appellate Defender Tara S. Taggart, 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 Edgar Lewis
Clements, III, of Florence, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Antonio Perry pled guilty to common law robbery and grand
larceny less than $5,000.  He was sentenced to concurrent sentences of 15 years
in prison for common law robbery and five years for grand larceny.  Perry 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 Perry 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.  Perry 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]

ANDERSON, STILWELL, and SHORT, JJ., concur.

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