PER CURIAM:  Reney St. Charles Smalls appeals his guilty plea to distribution of cocaine and distribution of cocaine within proximity of a school.  He contends the plea failed to comply with the mandates of Boykin v.

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

APPEAL DISMISSED.

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

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