Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, Senior
Assistant Attorney General Harold M. Coombs, Jr., all of Columbia; and Solicitor
Robert M. Ariail, of Greenville, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  James J. Abercrombie appeals his guilty
pleas and convictions for trafficking crack cocaine over 28 grams, possession
of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime, distribution of crack
cocaine, and possession of crack cocaine with intent to distribute.  Abercrombie
argues his plea was involuntary because the plea judge coerced him.  We affirm[1] pursuant to Rule 220(b), SCACR, and the following authority:  In re Arisha K.S., 331 S.C. 288, 293-94, 501
S.E.2d 128, 131 (Ct. App. 1998) (stating voluntariness of guilty plea must be
raised by objection to the trial court in order to be preserved for appeal).

AFFIRMED.

Short, Williams,
and Lockemy, JJ., concur.

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