Unpublished Opinion No.  2011-UP-306

Submitted June 1, 2011 – Filed June 17,

APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender Robert M. Pachak, of
Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Alan Wilson, Chief Deputy
Attorney General John W. McIntosh, and Assistant Deputy Attorney General Donald
J. Zelenka, all of Columbia; and Solicitor Kevin S. Brackett, of York, for
Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Yolanda Thompson appeals her convictions for armed
robbery, kidnapping, possession of a knife during the commission of a violence
crime, and criminal conspiracy, arguing (1) her guilty plea did not comply with
the mandates set forth in Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238 (1969); (2) the
State failed to prove she acted with malice in committing her crimes; and (3)
ineffective assistance of counsel.  After a thorough review of the record and all briefs
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.

SHORT, KONDUROS, and
GEATHERS, JJ., concur. 

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