PER CURIAM: Teresa Lynn Manley was indicted by the Dorchester County Grand Jury for assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature and forgery of less than $5000.  She pled guilty to both charges.  Manley was sentenced to six years imprisonment for assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature, suspended upon service of four years imprisonment and two years probation.  She was sentenced to four years imprisonment for forgery of less than $5000.  The sentences were to run concurrently.  Additionally, Manley was ordered to pay restitution on both charges.  Manley appeals, arguing that her guilty plea failed to comply with the mandates set forth in Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238 (1969).
