In The Court of Appeals

The State, Respondent,

v.

Issac Billie, Appellant.

Appeal from Clarendon County

 J. Derham Cole, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2008-UP-359

Submitted July 1, 2008 – Filed July 10,
2008

APPEAL DISMISSED

Joseph L. Savitz, III, Chief Attorney, South Carolina Commission
on Indigent Defense, Division of Appellate Defense, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh, and Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W.
Elliott, all of the Office of the Attorney General, of Columbia; and Solicitor C.
Kelly Jackson, of Sumter, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: 
Issac Billie pled guilty to leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death,
and he was sentenced to eight years imprisonment. On appeal, Billie argues the judge erred by accepting his plea
because the State failed to establish sufficient factual basis for his plea.  Billie
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.,
CURETON and GOOLSBY, A.J.J. concur.

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