The State, Respondent,

v.

John Massey, Appellant.

Appeal From York County

 John C. Hayes, III, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2008-UP-090

Submitted February 1, 2008 – Filed
February 8, 2008   

APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender Eleanor Duffy Cleary, 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 Kevin Scott Brackett, of York, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: John Massey appeals his guilty pleas to forgery
and petit larceny.  On appeal, Massey maintains his guilty pleas failed to
conform with the mandates set forth in Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238
(1969),  because the plea court failed to adequately advise him of his constitutional
rights.  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] Massey’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL
DISMISSED.

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

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