PER CURIAM: Sim Chestnut appeals his guilty plea and sentence for possession with intent to distribute crack cocaine, second offense.  He argues his guilty plea failed to comply with the mandates set forth in Boykin v.

Williams, 305 S.C. 116, 406 S.E.2d 357 (1991), we dismiss the appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.[1]

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HUFF, WILLIAMS, and KONDUROS, JJ., concur.
