PER CURIAM: Teresa Lynn Manley was indicted
by the Dorchester County Grand Jury for assault and battery of a high and aggravated
nature and forgery of less than $5000.  She pled guilty to both charges.  Manley
was sentenced to six years imprisonment for assault and battery of a high and
aggravated nature, suspended upon service of four years imprisonment and two
years probation.  She was sentenced to four years imprisonment for forgery of
less than $5000.  The sentences were to run concurrently.  Additionally, Manley
was ordered to pay restitution on both charges.  Manley appeals, arguing that
her guilty plea failed to comply with the mandates set forth in Boykin v.
Alabama, 395 U.S. 238 (1969).

Counsel for Manley has filed a final brief and
submitted a petition to be relieved as counsel.1  After a thorough review
of the record 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.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
