APPEAL DISMISSED

Deputy Chief Attorney for Capital Appeals Robert M. Dudek, of Columbia, for Appellant.

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

PER CURIAM: Shondell
C. Patterson appeals his guilty plea to resisting arrest with a
deadly weapon and two counts of assault and battery upon an emergency medical
service provider.  He maintains his guilty plea failed to conform with the
mandates set forth in Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238 (1969).  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., Short and Konduros,
JJ., concur

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