PER CURIAM: Johnny Andrew Nealy appeals from his guilty plea to two counts of murder, first-degree lynching, criminal conspiracy, and possession of a knife during a violent crime.� Nealy argues the plea did not comply with the due process mandates of Boykin v.

Williams, 305 S.C. 116, 406 S.E.2d 357 (1991), we dismiss [1] Nealy�s appeal and grant counsel�s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HEARN, C.J., CURETON and GOOLSBY, JJ., concur.
