General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Donald J. Zelenka, and

PER CURIAM:  Andre James
King appeals his convictions for murder, assault and battery with intent to
kill, and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime. 
King argues the trial court erred in allowing the State to impeach him with his
prior conviction for accessory after the fact to armed robbery.  We affirm[1] pursuant to Rule 220(b)(1), SCACR, and the
following authority:  State v. Pagan, 369 S.C. 201, 208, 631 S.E.2d 262, 265 (2006) ("The
admission of evidence is within the discretion of the trial court and will not
be reversed absent an abuse of discretion."). 

Affirmed.

HUFF, THOMAS,
and KONDUROS, JJ., concur. 

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