APPEAL DISMISSED
Appellate Defender Eleanor Duffy Cleary, 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 Jerry W. Peace, of Greenwood, for Respondent.
PER CURIAM: Larry Joe Sullivan appeals his guilty plea to criminal sexual conduct with a minor in the second degree resulting in a sentence of eighteen years in prison. He maintains his guilty plea was not intelligent and voluntary because the judge advised him of these rights in a cursory manner, failing to convey the importance of these rights, and thus did not comply with Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238 (1969). Sullivan also asserts a pro se argument. After a thorough review of the record, counsels brief, and Sullivans pro se brief pursuant 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] Sullivans appeal and grant counsels motion to be relieved.
APPEAL DISMISSED.
HEARN, C.J., HUFF and KITTREDGE, JJ., concur.
[1] We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
