APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender Kathrine H. Hudgins, 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 Jerry W. Peace, of Greenwood, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Michael
Leon Carroll appeals his guilty plea for conspiracy and his pleas pursuant to North
Carolina v. Alford, 400 U.S. 25 (1970), for two counts of distribution of
crack cocaine.  Carroll argues the plea court erred by advising him that he had
the right to appeal.  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 the appeal and grant counsel's motion to be relieved.[1]

APPEAL
DISMISSED.

Short, Williams,
and Geathers, J.J., concur.

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