Appellate Defender Robert M. Pachak, 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:  Donald Evan Williams pled guilty to petit larceny and burglary and received sentences of time served and five years, respectively.

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.
