APPEAL DISMISSED

Deputy Chief Appellate Defender Wanda H. Carter, 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:  Tony Morris appeals his guilty pleas to three counts of breaking into a motor vehicle, third-degree burglary, petit larceny, four counts of grand larceny, receiving stolen goods, and three counts of second-degree burglary and aggregate twenty-five year sentence.  Morris argues the trial court erred in not allowing him the opportunity to withdraw his guilty pleas after it became clear the court would reject the State's recommendation of a ten-year sentence cap.  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[1] the appeal and grant counsel's motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

WILLIAMS, PIEPER, and KONDUROS, JJ., concur.
