Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, of Columbia; and Solicitor Edgar Lewis Clements, III, of Florence; for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Kashawn Felder appeals his guilty plea  and sentence for trafficking cocaine more than 28 grams but less than 100 grams, arguing the plea court failed to advise him of the constitutional rights he would be waiving by pleading guilty.  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., THOMAS, and KONDUROS, JJ., concur.
