APPEAL DISMISSED


Assistant Appellate Defender Aileen P Clare,of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Donald J. Zelenka, all of Columbia; and Howard W. Gowdy, III, of Spartanburg, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Derrick Shawn Turner appeals his guilty pleas to murder and first-degree burglary.  He maintains his guilty pleas were not intelligent and voluntary and failed to conform to the mandates set forth in Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238 (1969).  Turner’s counsel attached a petition to be relieved, stating she reviewed the record and concluded this appeal lacks merit.  Turner did not file a pro se brief.  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 Turner’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.[1]

APPEAL DISMISSED.

ANDERSON, HUFF, and BEATTY, JJ., concur.
