v.

Robert Reddock, Appellant.


Appeal From Florence County
 James E. Brogdon, Jr., Circuit Court Judge


Unpublished Opinion No. 2004-UP-445
Submitted July 7, 2004 – Filed August 24, 2004


APPEAL DISMISSED


Acting Deputy Chief Attorney Wanda P. Hagler, 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 Edgar Lewis Clements, III, of Florence, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Robert Lee Reddock appeals his conviction for armed robbery. Reddock argues the trial judge erred in accepting his guilty plea to the charges because the plea failed to comply with the mandates set forth in Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238 (1969).  Reddock’s counsel attached to the brief a petition to be relieved as counsel, stating that she had reviewed the record and concluded this appeal lacks merit.  Reddock filed a separate pro se brief, arguing his conviction was void because he was not provided a preliminary hearing pursuant to Rule 2, SCRCrimP.

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] Reddock’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HEARN, C.J., HUFF and KITTREDGE, JJ., concur.


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