v.

Lisa Riddle
Stepp, Appellant.

Appeal From Spartanburg County

 J. Mark Hayes, II, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2008-UP-155

Submitted March 3, 2008 – Filed March 11,
2008  

APPEAL DISMISSED

Aileen P. Clare, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh, and Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W.
Elliott, all of Columbia; and Harold W. Gowdy, III, of Spartanburg, for
Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Lisa Riddle Stepp (Stepp) appeals her guilty plea and
sentence for promoting prostitution of a minor and contributing to the
delinquency of a minor.  On appeal, Stepp maintains her guilty plea failed to
conform with the mandates set forth in Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238
(1969).  Specifically, Stepp maintains the trial court erred by accepting her
guilty plea without an affirmative showing her plea was intelligent and
voluntary.  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 Stepp’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL
DISMISSED. [1]

HUFF, KITTREDGE,
and WILLIAMS, JJ., concur. 

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