The State, Respondent,

v.

Robbie C.
Collins, Appellant.

Appeal From Horry County

 James E. Lockemy, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2008-UP-459

Submitted August 1, 2008 – Filed August 8,
2008  

APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender Eleanor Duffy Cleary, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, all
of Columbia; Solicitor J. Gregory Hembree, of Conway, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Collins appeals his Alford plea,
and his sentence for criminal sexual conduct with a minor in the second degree.  On appeal, Collins alleges the plea judge erred by not
allowing him to withdraw his Alford plea, and therefore, it was
involuntary, and thus, invalid.  After a thorough review of the record, counsel’s
brief, and Collins’ 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[1] Collins’ appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

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

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