APPEAL DISMISSED
Senior Assistant Appellant 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, all of Columbia; and Solicitor John Gregory Hembree, of Conway; for Respondent.
PER CURIAM: Aaron Terrell Green appeals from his guilty plea to assault and battery with intent to kill. Green asserts the trial court erred in accepting his guilty plea without making an inquiry into whether Green understood that the plea would waive his right to cross-examine witnesses. Green filed a separate pro se brief, arguing the plea was entered unknowingly, unintelligently, and involuntarily because: (1) Green did not understand the elements of the offense; (2) Green was never told he would be required to serve at least 85% of his sentence or that he would have to be in a supervised program after serving the statutory maximum sentence; (3) the trial court did not sufficiently inquire into the facts of the case; and (4) defense counsel was incompetent. After a thorough review of the record and counsels 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] Greens appeal and grant counsels 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.
