Unpublished Opinion No. 2004-UP-509

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 Salley W. Elliott, all of Columbia; and Solicitor Horold W. Gowdy, III,
of Spartanburg, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Ogbona Moren appeals from his
guilty pleas to malicious injury to personal property, indecent exposure, leaving
the scene of an accident, habitual traffic offender, obtaining property by false
pretenses, and malicious injury to personal property greater than five thousand
dollars.  Moren argues his pleas were not knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently
given because he stated he could not remember the facts forming the basis of
the charges.  Moren’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] Moren’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HEARN, C.J., HUFF and KITTREDGE, JJ., concur.

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