v.

Jeffrey Sheldon
Carlson, Appellant.

Appeal From Lexington County

 Kenneth G. Goode, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No.  2008-UP-077

Submitted February 1, 2008 – Filed
February 6, 2008 

APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender Eleanor Duffy Cleary, South Carolina Commission
of Indigent Defense, Division of Appellate Defense, 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 Donald V. Myers, of Lexington, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Jeffery Sheldon Carlson appeals his guilty plea to second-degree criminal
sexual conduct with a minor.  On appeal, Carlson maintains his guilty plea
failed to conform with the mandates set forth in Boykin v. Alabama, 395
U.S. 238 (1969).  Specifically, Carlson maintains the trial court abused its
discretion by failing to adequately advise him of his constitutional rights.  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] Carlson’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL
DISMISSED.

HEARN, C.J., and PIEPER, J., and CURETON, A.J.,
concur.

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