Appeal From Berkeley County

Deadra L. Jefferson, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2007-UP-219

Submitted May 1, 2007 – Filed May 14, 2007   

APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant Appellate Defender Robert M. Dudek, 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 Ralph E. Hoisington, , of Charleston, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Eugene Sanders appeals his guilty plea and sentence for burglary in the second degree and failure to stop for a blue light.  Sanders’ counsel contends that his sentence should be vacated because the trial court did not comply with the mandates of Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238 (1969). 

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] Sanders’ appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.    

APPEAL DISMISSED.

STILWELL, SHORT, and WILLIAMS, JJ., concur.

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