v.

Archie Judge,        Appellant.


Appeal From Lexington County
James R. Barber, Circuit Court Judge


Unpublished Opinion No.  2003-UP-213
Submitted January 29, 2003 - Filed March 19, 2003


APPEAL DISMISSED


Assistant Appellate Defender Robert M. Pachak, of Columbia; for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Charles H. Richardson, all of Columbia; Solicitor Donald V. Myers, of Lexington; for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Archie Judge pleaded guilty to failing to stop for a blue light.  Judge now appeals, arguing the trial court violated the mandate of Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238 (1965), by accepting his guilty plea because his plea was not knowingly and voluntarily entered.  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] Judge’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HEARN, C.J., GOOLSBY and SHULER, JJ., concur.


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