Edward W. Miller, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2012-UP-180

Submitted March 1, 2012 – Filed March 14,
2012   

AFFIRMED

Appellate Defender Robert M. Pachak, of
Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Alan Wilson, Chief Deputy
Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W.
Elliott, and Senior Assistant Attorney General Harold M. Coombs, Jr., all of
Columbia; and Solicitor W. Walter Wilkins, III, of Greenville, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Tyson Simpson appeals his sentence for armed
robbery and attempted armed robbery, arguing the circuit court erred in considering
charges that had been dismissed pursuant to his plea agreement during
sentencing.  We affirm[1] pursuant to Rule 220(b)(1), SCACR, and
the following authorities: State v.
Hicks, 377 S.C. 322, 325, 659 S.E.2d
499, 500 (Ct. App. 2008) ("A judge or other sentencing authority is to be
accorded very wide discretion in determining an appropriate sentence, and must
be permitted to consider any and all information that reasonably might bear on
the proper sentence for the particular defendant, given the crime
committed."); State v. Barton, 325 S.C. 522, 531, 481 S.E.2d 439,
444 (Ct. App. 1997) ("Absent partiality, prejudice, oppression, or corrupt
motive, this [c]ourt lacks jurisdiction to disturb a sentence that is within
the limits prescribed by statute.").

AFFIRMED.

PIEPER,
KONDUROS, and GEATHERS, JJ., concur.

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