Unpublished Opinion No. 2003-UP-312

Submitted February 20, 2003 – Filed May 6, 2003

APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant Appellate Defender Robert M. Pachak, of Columbia,
for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan
McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney
General Charles H. Richardson, all of Columbia;  and Solicitor Thomas E. Pope,
of York; for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: David Dickey appeals his guilty
plea, arguing the trial court violated the mandate of Boykin v. Alabama,
395 U.S. 238 (1965), by accepting his plea because it was not knowingly and
voluntarily entered.  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] Dickey’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

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

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