Appellate Defender Kathrine H. Hudgins, of Columbia,  for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, of Columbia; and Solicitor Harold W Gowdy, III, of Spartanburg, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Ralph Kentil Fleming appeals his guilty plea and sentence for accessory after the fact, arguing the plea court erred in refusing to consider, during sentencing, his eventual cooperation in testifying for the State.  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.
