Unpublished Opinion No. 2003-UP-330
Submitted March 26, 2003 � Filed May 15, 2003���


APPEAL DISMISSED


Assistant Appellate Defender Eleanor Duffy Cleary, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Deputy Director for Legal Services Teresa A. Knox; Legal Counsel Tommy Evans, Jr.; Legal Counsel J. Benjamin Aplin, of Columbia; for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:� Capris Young appeals from her guilty pleas to shoplifting third offense and assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature.� Young asserts the trial court erred in accepting her guilty pleas without making an inquiry into whether Young understood that she had the right to confront her accusers or that she could not be compelled to testify against herself.� Young also asserts the trial court abused its discretion in revoking her suspended sentence.� Young filed a separate pro se brief, arguing the pleas were entered into unknowingly, unintelligently, and involuntarily because she was not aware of her rights and did not understand what she was getting into. After consideration of appellant's pro se brief and review 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] Young�s appeal and grant counsel's motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

CURETON, ANDERSON, and HUFF, JJ., concur.


[1] We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
