APPEAL DISMISSED

Senior Assistant Appellate Defender Wanda H. Haile, of Columbia; for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster; Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh; Assistant Deputy Attorney General Charles H. Richardson, of Columbia; Solicitor Warren Blair Giese, of Columbia; for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Shanna Kranchick pled guilty to armed robbery and was sentenced to twelve years imprisonment.  Kranchick’s appellate counsel argues that the lower court erred by accepting Kranchick’s guilty plea prior to an inquiry as to whether any basis in fact existed in support of the plea.

Kranchick’s appellate counsel submitted a petition to be relieved as counsel, stating she has reviewed the record and has concluded Kranchick’s appeal is without merit.  Kranchick filed a document with the court containing multiple arguments.

After a review of the record as required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and State v. Williams, 305 S.C. 116, 406 S.E.2d 357 (1991), we hold there are no directly appealable issues that are arguable on their merits.  Accordingly, we dismiss Kranchick’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HEARN, C.J., and CURETON and GOOLSBY, JJ., concur.

[1]   Because oral argument would not aid the court in resolving the issues on appeal, we decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rules 215 and 220(b)(2), SCACR.
