 Lee S. Alford, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2007-UP-452

Submitted October 1, 2007 – Filed October

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; Thomas E. Pope, of York, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: 
Jay Brian Schulze pled guilty to possession with intent to distribute
marijuana, for which he received five years.  On appeal, Schulze alleges the
plea judge improperly conditioned his guilty plea on his agreement to waive
counsel.  Schulze did not file a pro se brief.  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 the appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.[1]

APPEAL
DISMISSED.

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

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