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 Salley W. Elliott, all of
Columbia; and Solicitor Donald V. Myers, of Lexington, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: James G. Jayne appeals his Alford[1] pleas and sentences for kidnapping and first-degree criminal sexual conduct,
and his guilty plea and sentence for criminal domestic violence of a high and
aggravated nature, arguing his plea was invalid as a conditional plea and the
State improperly withheld information under Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S.
83 (1963).  After a thorough
review of the record, counsel’s brief, and Jayne’s pro se 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.[2]

APPEAL
DISMISSED.

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

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