v.

Appeal from Spartanburg County
 J. Cordell Maddox Jr., Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2008-UP-217
Submitted April 1, 2008 – Filed April 7, 2008   

APPEAL DISMISSED

Deputy Chief Attorney for Capital Appeals, Robert M. Dudek, of Columbia, for Appellant.

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

PER CURIAM:  Tyrone Perry appeals his conviction and sentence for murder.  On appeal Perry argues his guilty plea did not comply with the mandates set forth in Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238 (1969), because he was not properly advised regarding his waiver of constitutional rights.  Perry filed a letter in response to the Anders brief.  After a thorough review of the record, Perry’s response, 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 Perry’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.[1]

APPEAL DISMISSED.

ANDERSON, SHORT, and THOMAS, JJ., concur.

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