Appellate Defender Kathrine 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 Warren B. Giese, of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Hezzie Ezra Goyner appeals from his guilty plea to petit larceny and second-degree, non-violent burglary.  Goyner argues the plea was rendered involuntary because the plea judge did not advise Goyner of the sentencing consequences.  After a thorough review of the record and both briefs, 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.
