In The Court of Appeals

In the Interest of
Christopher C., A Minor Under the Age of Seventeen Appellant.

Appeal From Dillon County

Timothy L. Brown, Family Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2008-UP-030

Submitted January 2, 2008 – Filed January 10, 2008

APPEAL DISMISSED

Chief
Attorney Joseph L. Savitz, III, South Carolina Commission on Indigent Defense,
Division of  Appellate Defense, 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; and Solicitor Jay E. Hodge, Jr, of Cheraw, for
Respondent.

PER
CURIAM:  Christopher C. appeals his no contest pleas for possession
of cocaine and unlawful possession of weapon by a minor and sentence of an  indeterminate
period not to exceed his twenty-first birthday unless the “Solicitor finds
alternative placement.”  Christopher C. argues the family court should not have
accepted his plea of no contest because an insufficient factual basis existed
to support a finding of guilt.  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] Christopher C.’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HEARN, C.J.,
KITTREDGE and THOMAS, JJ., concur.

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