Unpublished Opinion No. 2010-UP-389
Submitted August 2, 2010 – Filed August 25, 2010


APPEAL DISMISSED


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

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, and Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, all of Columbia; and Solicitor Scarlett Anne Wilson, of Charleston, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Jerry Jerome Smith appeals his concurrent sentences of twenty-three years' imprisonment for first-degree burglary, five years' imprisonment for involuntary manslaughter, and five years' imprisonment for grand larceny.  On appeal, Smith argues the plea court erred by sentencing him in excess of the statutory maximum for involuntary manslaughter.  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 the appeal and grant counsel's motion to be relieved.[1]

APPEAL DISMISSED.

FEW, C.J., KONDUROS and LOCKEMY, JJ., concur.


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