Assistant Appellate Defender Eleanor Duffy Cleary, 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 Warren B. Giese, of Columbia; for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:� Christopher Tucker appeals from his guilty plea to distribution of crack cocaine and distribution of crack cocaine within the proximity of a school or park, arguing the trial judge violated the mandate of Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238 (1965), by accepting his plea.� Tucker�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.� 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] Tucker�s appeal and grant counsel�s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
