Johnny Ray Pyatt, Appellant.

Appeal From Lancaster County
�Kenneth G. Goode, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No.� 2005-UP-059
Submitted January 1, 2005 � Filed January 24, 2005

APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant Appellate Defender Tara S. Taggart, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry D. McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, all of Columbia; and Solicitor John R. Justice, of Chester, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:� Johnny Ray Pyatt appeals from his guilty plea to one charge of failure to stop for law enforcement, one charge of petit larceny, one charge of resisting arrest, and one charge of second-degree burglary, and three charges of grand larceny of property valued at more than $1,000 but less than $5,000.� Pyatt�s appellate counsel has petitioned to be relieved as counsel, stating she has reviewed the record and has concluded Pyatt�s appeal is without merit.� The sole issue briefed by counsel concerns whether the circuit court complied with the mandates of Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238 (1969) in accepting Pyatt�s guilty plea.� Pyatt did not file a separate pro se reply brief.

After a review of the record as required by Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and State v. Williams, 305 S.C. 116, 406 S.E.2d 357 (1991), we find no directly appealable issues arguable on their merits.� Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal and grant counsel�s petition to be relieved.¹

APPEAL DISMISSED.
