Unpublished Opinion No. 2005-UP-461

Submitted July 1, 2005 – Filed July 26, 2005

APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant Appellate Defender Tara S. Taggart, Office of Appellate Defense, of Columbia,  for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMater, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, Office of the Attorney General, all of Columbia; and Solicitor Jennifer Susan Kottka Colton, of York for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Richard Lewis Moss, Jr. appeals his convictions for trafficking cocaine and obstruction of justice.  He contends that the trial judge erred in accepting his guilty plea because he disputed one of the facts alleged.  Moss has also filed a pro se brief in which he alleges the trial judge erred in accepting his guilty plea without conforming to the federal sentencing guidelines.  After a thorough review of the record and the briefs, we dismiss this appeal pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967) and State v. Williams, 305 S.C. 116, 406 S.E.2d 357 (1991).  Counsel’s motion to be relieved is granted. 

APPEAL DISMISSED.[1]

GOOLSBY, HUFF, and KITTREDGE, JJ., concur.
