PER CURIAM:  Bryan Keith Roberts appeals his guilty plea and sentence of seven years for drug trafficking in ecstasy.  Roberts argues his guilty plea failed to conform to the mandates set forth in Boykin v.

Williams, 305 S.C. 116, 406 S.E.2d 357 (1991), we dismiss[1] Roberts’ appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

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