2005-UP-430

Submitted July 1, 2005 – Filed July 13, 2005

APPEAL DISMISSED

Acting Chief Attorney Joseph
L. Savitz III, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry
Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, and
Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, all of Columbia,
for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Richard
Allen Patterson appeals his conviction and sentence of twenty years imprisonment
for first-degree burglary.  He asserts the trial judge erred by informing
him of his right to appeal his conviction and sentence.  Patterson
maintains his guilty plea was conditional, and thus invalid.  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]
Patterson’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved. 

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HEARN, C.J. and BEATTY and SHORT,
JJ., concur.

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