Chief Attorney Joseph L. Savitz, III, South Carolina Commission on Indigent Defense, Division of �Appellate Defense, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, and Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, all of Columbia; and Solicitor Jay E. Hodge, Jr, of Cheraw, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:� Christopher C. appeals his no contest pleas for possession of cocaine and unlawful possession of weapon by a minor and sentence of an �indeterminate period not to exceed his twenty-first birthday unless the �Solicitor finds alternative placement.�� Christopher C. argues the family court should not have accepted his plea of no contest because an insufficient factual basis existed to support a finding of guilt.� 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] Christopher C.�s appeal and grant counsel�s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
