APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant 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 Charles H. Richardson, of Columbia;� and Solicitor Druanne Dykes White, of Anderson; for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:� Joey Hanks appeals from his guilty plea to multiple charges arising from a traffic stop.� Hanks argues that prior to accepting his plea, the trial court erred by not granting his motion to suppress evidence allegedly obtained pursuant to an unlawful search.� Counsel for Hanks attached to her brief a petition to be relived as counsel, stating she had reviewed the record and concluded Hanks�s appeal lacks merit.� Hanks filed a separate pro se brief.� After a thorough review of the record, Hanks�s pro se brief, 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] Hanks�s appeal and grant counsel�s motion to be relived.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
