APPEAL DISMISSED
Assistant Appellate Defender Robert M. Dudek, of Columbia, 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 Harold W. Gowdy, III, of Spartanburg, for Respondent.
PER CURIAM: George Ramantanin appeals his guilty plea for distribution of cocaine and his sentence of ten years imprisonment. Ramantanins counsel argues the plea court failed to comply with the mandates set forth in Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238 (1969). Also, Ramantanin has filed a pro se brief in which he contends his guilty plea did not comply with Boykin and the guilty plea should be vacated because the plea court made coercive statements and improperly participated in the plea negotiations. 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] Ramantanins appeal and grant counsels motion to be relieved.
APPEAL DISMISSED.
HUFF, BEATTY, and WILLIAMS, JJ., concur.
[1] We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
