Appeal From Cherokee County
R. Keith Kelly, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2015-UP-478
Submitted August 1, 2015 – Filed October 7, 2015

AFFIRMED

Appellate Defender Benjamin John Tripp, of Columbia,
for Appellant.

Attorney General Alan McCrory Wilson and Assistant
Attorney General Megan Harrigan Jameson, both of
Columbia; and Solicitor Barry Joe Barnette, of
Spartanburg, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Michael Douglas Camp appeals his concurrent five-year
sentences for breaking into a motor vehicle and third-degree burglary, arguing the
plea court abused its discretion in amending his sentence. We affirm pursuant to
Rule 220(b), SCACR, and the following authorities: State v. Warren, 392 S.C.
235, 237-38, 708 S.E.2d 234, 235 (Ct. App. 2011) ("The authority to change a
sentence rests solely and exclusively within the discretion of the sentencing
judge."); State v. Franklin, 267 S.C. 240, 246, 226 S.E.2d 896, 898 (1976) (stating
an appellate court "has no jurisdiction to review a sentence, provided it is within
the limits provided by statute for the discretion of the trial court, and is not the
result of prejudice, oppression or corrupt motive"); S.C. Code Ann. § 16-13-
160(B) (2003) (stating an individual found guilty of breaking into a motor vehicle
"is guilty of a felony and, upon conviction, must be imprisoned not more than five
years or fined not more than one thousand dollars, or both"); S.C. Code Ann. § 16-
11-313(B) (2003) ("Burglary in the third degree is a felony punishable by
imprisonment for not more than five years for conviction on a first offense and for
not more than ten years for conviction of a second offense according to the
discretion of the [c]ourt.").
