Assistant Appellate Defender Aileen P. Clare, of Ridgeville, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, all of Columbia; and Solicitor Ralph E. Hoisington, of Charleston, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  George Truesdell pled guilty to four counts of lewd act on a minor and was sentenced to consecutive and concurrent terms of confinement totaling thirty years.  Truesdell argues on appeal that his sentence was constitutionally disproportionate.  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] Truesdell’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
