PER CURIAM:  Julian Ford appeals the circuit court's
dismissal of his petition for habeas corpus.  We affirm[1] pursuant to Rule 220(b)(1), SCACR, and the following authority:  Keeler v.
Mauney, 330 S.C. 568, 571, 500 S.E.2d 123, 124 (Ct. App. 1998) (holding a
prisoner is procedurally barred from bringing a writ of habeas corpus in
circuit court when the issues alleged are cognizable in post-conviction relief
applications, and if procedurally barred, a prisoner's only avenue of relief is
to bring a habeas corpus petition in the original jurisdiction of our state's
supreme court).

AFFIRMED.

KONDUROS, GEATHERS, and
LOCKEMY, JJ., concur.

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