Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Charles H. Richardson, all of Columbia;  and Solicitor Walter M. Bailey, Jr., of Summerville; for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Clint Douglas Daniels was indicted on two counts of assault and battery with intent to kill.  Daniels pled guilty to both charges.  In accordance with a negotiated plea agreement, Daniels was given a concurrent sentence for fifteen years imprisonment on each charge.  Daniels appeals, arguing that his guilty plea failed to comply with the mandates set forth in Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238 (1969).

Counsel for Daniels has filed a final brief and submitted a petition to be relieved as counsel.After a thorough review of the record 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 the appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved as counsel.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
