APPEAL DISMISSED

Robert M. Dudek, South Carolina Commission on Indigent Defense, 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 Barbara R. Morgan,  of Aiken, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Bradley Bunn pleaded guilty to four counts of armed robbery and one count of use of an automobile without the owner’s permission.  Bunn appeals, arguing his guilty plea does not comply with Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238 (1969), because the circuit court erred in failing to advise him of his privilege against self-incrimination, right to trial by jury, and right to confront his accusers.  Bunn did not file a separate pro se brief.  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] Bunn’s appeal and grant counsel’s petition to be relieved. 

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HEARN, C.J., CURETON and GOOLSBY, A.J.J. concur.
