Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott; all of Columbia; and David M. Pascoe, Jr., of Dorchester, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Benjamin Davis, III, appeals his guilty pleas for assault and battery with intent to kill, attempted armed robbery, and unlawful carrying of a handgun.  On appeal, Davis argues his plea did not comply with constitutional standards.  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.
