v.

Gregory Allen Faile,       
Appellant,

Appeal From York County

John C. Hayes, III, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2003-UP-615

Submitted August 20, 2003 – Filed October
21, 2003  

APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant Appellate Defender Aileen P. Clare, 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:  Gregory Allen Faile appeals
from the trial court’s acceptance of his guilty plea for driving under the influence
(second), driving under suspension (second), and habitual traffic offender. 
Faile argues the pleas were not knowingly and intelligently made due to his
disagreement with the State’s facts.  Faile’s counsel attached to the brief
a petition to be relieved as counsel, stating that she had reviewed the record
and concluded this appeal lacks merit.  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] Faile’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HEARN, C.J., CONNOR and ANDERSON, JJ., concur.

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