George C. James, Jr., Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2008-UP-493

Submitted August 1, 2008 – Filed August
18, 2008   

APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender M. Celia Robinson, 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:  Kenneth
Bernard Williams appeals his guilty pleas to two counts of grand larceny; two
counts of third degree burglary, second offense; receiving stolen goods; and
resisting arrest.  Williams argues the trial court erred by accepting his guilty
plea because his plea was not knowingly and intelligently made.  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 Williams’ appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved. [1]

APPEAL
DISMISSED. 

KONDUROS,
J., CURETON, and GOOLSBY, A.J.J., concur.

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