v.

James Kevin
Williams, Appellant.

Appeal From Spartanburg County

 J. Cordell Maddox, Jr., Circuit Court
Judge

Unpublished Opinion No.  2009-UP-372

Submitted June 1, 2009 – Filed June 29,
2009

APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender Lanelle C. Durant, 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 Harold W. Gowdy, III, of Spartanburg, for
Respondent.

PER CURIAM: James
Kevin Williams appeals his guilty plea to criminal domestic violence of a high
and aggravated nature and criminal domestic violence, second offense.  Williams asserts the trial court erred by accepting his plea
because it did not comply with the mandates set forth in Boykin v. Alabama,
395 U.S. 238 (1969).  Williams filed a pro se brief arguing the trial court
erred by not advising him of the range of punishment.  After a thorough review of the record and both
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.

HEARN, C.J., THOMAS and KONDUROS, JJ., concur.

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