Appeal From Aiken County
�James C. Williams, Jr., Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2005-UP-628���
Submitted December 1, 2005 � Filed December 9, 2005

APPEAL DISMISSED

Acting Chief Attorney Joseph L. Savitz, III, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Donald J. Zelenka, all of Columbia; and Solicitor Barbara R. Morgan, of Aiken, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:� Willie Augustus Lloyd appeals his conviction and sentence of eighteen years for voluntary manslaughter.� Lloyd argues his plea was conditional and thus invalid.� Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Lloyd�s counsel attached a petition to be relieved stating he has reviewed the record and found the appeal to be without merit.� Lloyd filed a separate pro se brief also alleging his plea was conditional and thus invalid.� After a thorough review of the record and briefs 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 Lloyd�s appeal and grant counsel�s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED. [1]

GOOLSBY, ANDERSON, and SHORT, JJ., concur.

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