APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender Aileen P. Clare, of Columbia,  for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, Office of the Attorney General, all of Columbia; and Solicitor Kevin Scott Brackett, of York, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Cherry pled guilty to distribution of crack cocaine, distribution of crack cocaine within proximity of a public school, possession of cocaine, possession of ecstasy, possession of crack cocaine with intent to distribute, and possession of crack cocaine with intent to distribute within proximity of a public school. As a result of a negotiated plea agreement, he received concurrent sentences totaling ten years.  Cherry’s counsel maintains that the ten-year sentence was disproportionate under the circumstances. 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 Cherry’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.[1]

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HEARN, C.J., and HUFF and KITTREDGE, JJ., concur.
