Unpublished Opinion No.  2008-UP-097

Submitted February 1, 2008 – Filed

APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender Aileen P. Clare, South Carolina Commission on
Indigent Defense, of Columbia, 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 Harold W. Gowdy, III, of Spartanburg, for
Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Bobby
Wayne Allison appeals his guilty plea to first-degree
burglary.  On appeal, Allison maintains his guilty plea failed to conform with
the mandates set forth in Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238 (1969).  Specifically,
Allison maintains the trial court abused its discretion by accepting his guilty
plea when he was hesitant to waive his right to a jury trial.  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] Allison’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL
DISMISSED.

HEARN,
C.J., PIEPER, J., and CURETON, A.J., concur.

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