v.

Garrett T.
Motley, Appellant.

Appeal From Lexington County

 G. Edward Welmaker, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2009-UP-377

Submitted June 1, 2009 – Filed June 30,
2009  

APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender Elizabeth A. Franklin, 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 Columbia;  and Solicitor Donald V. Myers, of Lexington, for
Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Garrett T. Motley appeals his guilty plea to strong
armed robbery and fifteen year sentence, suspended upon the service of three
years' imprisonment and five years probation.  Motley argues the court erred in
accepting his guilty plea because he largely disputed the factual basis of the
plea.  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.

SHORT, WILLIAMS, and LOCKEMY, JJ., concur.

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