APPEAL DISMISSED

Appellate Defender Lanelle C. Durant, 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 Robert M. Ariail, of Greenville, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Phil Floyd Williams appeals his convictions for possession with intent to distribute crack cocaine and possession of crack cocaine with intent to distribute within a half mile from a school.  Williams argues the trial court erred in denying his motion to withdraw his guilty plea after he discovered the police allegedly contaminated the evidence against him.  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. 

HUFF, THOMAS, and LOCKEMY, JJ., concur.
