v.

Lex Bry Darnell, Appellant.


Appeal From Spartanburg County
 Roger L. Couch, Circuit Court Judge


Unpublished Opinion No. 2009-UP-381
Submitted June 1, 2009 – Filed June 30, 2009  


APPEAL DISMISSED


Appellate Defender Kathrine H. Hudgins, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, all of Columbia; and Solicitor Harold W. Gowdy, III, of Spartanburg, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Lex Bry Darnell pled guilty to one count of assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature and was sentenced to ten years' imprisonment, suspended upon the service of five years, with probation for the remaining five years.  Darnell appeals, arguing the plea court erred in accepting his guilty plea despite his disagreement with some of the facts presented by the State.  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] Darnell's appeal and grant counsel's petition to be relieved. 

APPEAL DISMISSED.

SHORT, WILLIAMS, and LOCKEMY, JJ., concur.


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