APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender Eleanor Duffy Cleary, of Columbia, for Appellant.

J. Benjamin Aplin, of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Donald Floyd pled guilty to possessing cocaine, first offense; was given a conditional discharge; and was required to comply with the conditions of probation for one year.  Thereafter, Floyd’s conditional sentence was revoked by the trial court, and Floyd was sentenced to two years’ imprisonment.  Floyd appeals, arguing the trial court abused its discretion by sentencing him to two years without allowing him to enter a plea and adjudicate his guilt.  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 the appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.[1] 

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HEARN, C.J., SHORT and KONDUROS, JJ., concur.
