Appeal From Lexington County
John C. Few, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2008-UP-458
Submitted August 1, 2008 – Filed August 7, 2008  

APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender Katherine H. Hudgins, 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, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, Office of the Attorney General, all of Columbia; and Solicitor Donald V. Myers, of Lexington, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Damond D. Hardy appeals his guilty plea to accessory after the fact and sentence of fifteen years.  Hardy argues the trial court erred by sentencing him to the maximum allowed sentence and failing to consider his cooperation during the trial of a co-defendant.  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 Hardy’s appeal and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved. [1]

APPEAL DISMISSED. 

KONDUROS, J., CURETON, A.J., and GOOLSBY, A.J., concur.

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