Appeal From Greenville County

 Alexander S. Macaulay, Circuit Court
Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2008-UP-417

Submitted July 1, 2008 – Filed July 21,
2008   

APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender LaNelle C. DuRant, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott and Susan
Olmert Porter, both of Columbia; and Solicitor Robert Mills Ariail, of
Greenville, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Kenneth
Scott Pope appeals his guilty plea to two counts of trafficking methamphetamine. 
The plea judge sentenced him to seventeen years imprisonment for each charge to
run current.  Pope argues the plea judge erred in giving Pope an
unconstitutionally disproportionate sentence.  After a thorough review of the
record and counsel’s brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738
(1967), we dismiss[1] Pope’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL
DISMISSED.

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

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