Assistant Appellate Defender Robert M. Dudek, Office of Appellate Defense, of Columbia, for Appellant.

PER CURIAM: James Robert Rhinehart appeals from his guilty plea to possession of marijuana, third offense. He contends the circuit court erred by accepting his plea without advising him of his privilege against compulsory self-incrimination, his right to trial by jury, and his right to confront his accusers. Rhineharts counsel attached to the brief a petition to be relieved as counsel, stating he had reviewed the record and concluded Rhineharts appeal lacks merit. Rhinehart filed a separate pro se brief, in which he argues the circuit court lacked subject matter jurisdiction to accept his guilty plea. After a thorough review of the record, Rhineharts brief, and counsels 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] Rhineharts appeal and grant counsels motion to be relieved.
APPEAL DISMISSED.
HEARN, C.J., ANDERSON, and KITTREDGE, JJ., concur.
[1] We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
