v.

Shanna Kranchick,       
Appellant.

Appeal From Richland County

Henry F. Floyd, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2003-UP-374

Submitted February 20, 2003 - Filed
May 28, 2003   

APPEAL DISMISSED

Senior Assistant Appellate Defender Wanda H. Haile, of Columbia;
for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster; Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh; Assistant Deputy Attorney General Charles H. Richardson,
of Columbia; Solicitor Warren Blair Giese, of Columbia; for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Shanna Kranchick pled guilty
to armed robbery and was sentenced to twelve years imprisonment.  Kranchick’s
appellate counsel argues that the lower court erred by accepting Kranchick’s
guilty plea prior to an inquiry as to whether any basis in fact existed in support
of the plea.

Kranchick’s appellate counsel submitted a petition
to be relieved as counsel, stating she has reviewed the record and has concluded
Kranchick’s appeal is without merit.  Kranchick filed a document with the court
containing multiple arguments.

After a review of the record as required by Anders
v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and State v. Williams, 305 S.C.
116, 406 S.E.2d 357 (1991), we hold there are no directly appealable issues
that are arguable on their merits.  Accordingly, we dismiss Kranchick’s appeal
and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved. [1]

APPEAL DISMISSED.

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

[1]   Because oral argument would not aid the court
in resolving the issues on appeal, we decide this case without oral argument
pursuant to Rules 215 and 220(b)(2), SCACR.
