Appeal From Richland County

Alison Renee Lee, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2008-UP-354

Submitted July 1, 2008 – Filed July 10,
2008   

APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender Eleanor Duffy Cleary, of Columbia, for
Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, and
Solicitor Warren B. Giese, all of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Charles Tucker, Jr., appeals his guilty plea to first
degree sexual exploitation of a minor and sentence of nine years imprisonment. 
Tucker argues his guilty plea was involuntary because it did not comply with
the mandates set forth in 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 Tucker’s
appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved. [1]

APPEAL
DISMISSED. 

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

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