Appeal From Lexington County

 John C. Few, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2009-UP-126

Submitted March 2, 2009 – Filed March 5,
2009   

AFFIRMED

Appellate Defender Kathrine H. Hudgins, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott,

Assistant Attorney General Julie M. Thames, all of Columbia; and Solicitor Donald V. Myers, of Lexington, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Charles M. Cook appeals his guilty plea to accessory
after the fact, arguing the plea judge erred in accepting his guilty plea
because there was no factual basis for the plea. We affirm[1] pursuant to Rule 220(b), SCACR, and the following authorities: State v.
McKinney, 278 S.C. 107, 108, 292 S.E.2d 598, 599 (1982) (stating that
absent timely objection at a plea proceeding, the sufficiency of a guilty plea
can be attacked only through the more appropriate channel of post-conviction
relief).

AFFIRMED.

SHORT, THOMAS, and GEATHERS, JJ., concur.

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