fined $15,000 for possession with intent to distribute cocaine, five years imprisonment
and fined $15,000 for possession with intent to distribute marijuana, and one
year imprisonment for unlawful carrying of a pistol.  The sentences were to

to be relieved.

resolving any issue on appeal, we decide this case without oral argument pursuant
to Rule 215 and 220(b)(2), SCACR.
