Appeal From York County
�John C. Hayes, III, Circuit Court Judge


Unpublished Opinion No. 2008-UP-090
Submitted February 1, 2008 � Filed February 8, 2008���


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 Kevin Scott Brackett, of York, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: John Massey appeals his guilty pleas to forgery and petit larceny.� On appeal, Massey maintains his guilty pleas failed to conform with the mandates set forth in Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238 (1969),� because the plea court failed to adequately advise him of his constitutional rights.� After a thorough review of the record 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] Massey�s appeal and grant counsel�s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HEARN, C.J., PIEPER, J., and GOOLSBY, A.J., concur.


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