The State,        Respondent,

v.

Gregory Allen Faile,        Appellant,


Appeal From York County
John C. Hayes, III, Circuit Court Judge


Unpublished Opinion No. 2003-UP-615
Submitted August 20, 2003 – Filed October 21, 2003  


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, all of Columbia;  and  Solicitor Thomas E. Pope, of York, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Gregory Allen Faile appeals from the trial court’s acceptance of his guilty plea for driving under the influence (second), driving under suspension (second), and habitual traffic offender.  Faile argues the pleas were not knowingly and intelligently made due to his disagreement with the State’s facts.  Faile’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] Faile’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HEARN, C.J., CONNOR and ANDERSON, JJ., concur.


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