Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, and Warren B Giese, all of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Samuel Dawan Kirk appeals his guilty plea to assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature.  On appeal, Kirk's counsel alleges the plea did not comply with the mandates of Boykin v.

Williams, 305 S.C. 116, 406 S.E.2d 357 (1991), we dismiss[1] Kirk's appeal and grant counsel's motion to be relieved.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

PIEPER and GEATHERS, JJ., and CURETON, A.J., concur.
