APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant Appellate Defender Robert M. Pachak, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Charles H. Richardson, all of Columbia;  and Solicitor Thomas E. Pope, of York; for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: David Dickey appeals his guilty plea, arguing the trial court violated the mandate of Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238 (1965), by accepting his plea because it was not knowingly and voluntarily entered.  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 [1] Dickey’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

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

[1] We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
