PER CURIAM: Dana Weldon appeals the South Carolina Parole Board's (the Board) denial of his
parole, arguing the Board failed to comply with Cooper v. South Carolina Department of Probation,
Parole and Pardon Services. 377 S.C.
489, 661 S.E.2d 106 (2008).  We affirm[1] pursuant to Rule 220(b)(1), SCACR, and the
following authority: Compton v. S.C.
Dep't of Prob., Parole & Pardon Servs., 385 S.C. 476, 479, 685 S.E.2d 175, 179 (2009) (holding an order
denying parole is sufficient under Cooper if it states the Board
considered the statutory criteria in section 24-21-640 of the South Carolina
Code (2007) and parole form 1212). 

Affirmed.

FEW, C.J., WILLIAMS, J., and CURETON, A.J., concur.
