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 Charles H. Richardson, of Columbia; Solicitor Thomas E. Pope, of York; for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:� James Burton Medford appeals from his guilty plea to two counts of second-degree burglary, three counts of malicious injury to personal property, and two counts of petit larceny.� Medford contends the term of his sentence was grossly disproportionate to the sentences his co-defendants received and thereby violated the Eighth Amendments prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment.� 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] Medford�s appeal and grant counsel�s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
