APPEAL DISMISSED


Chief Attorney Joseph L. Savitz, III, South Carolina Commission of Indigent Defense, 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 Thomas E. Pope, of York, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Luis Enrique Vargas Avila appeals his guilty plea to trafficking cocaine in an amount more than ten grams.� On appeal, Avila maintains the plea court, by advising him of his right to appeal, rendered his plea conditional and, therefore, invalid under our jurisprudence.� 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] Avila�s appeal and grant counsel�s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HUFF, KITTREDGE, and WILLIAMS, JJ., concur.


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