Appeal From Charleston County
Roger M. Young, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2012-UP-455
Submitted July 2, 2012 – Filed July 25, 2012

AFFIRMED

Defender Tristan M. Shaffer, both of Columbia, for
Appellant.

Attorney General Alan Wilson, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh, Senior Assistant Deputy
Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, and Assistant
Attorney General Christina J. Catoe, all of Columbia; and
Solicitor Scarlett A. Wilson, of Charleston, for
Respondent.
PER CURIAM: Lamar Jones appeals his convictions of second-degree burglary
and possession of tools of crime, arguing the plea court erred in denying his motion
to withdraw his guilty plea because the plea was not made knowingly and
voluntarily. We affirm1 pursuant to Rule 220(b), SCACR, and the following
authorities: State v. Geer, 391 S.C. 179, 193, 705 S.E.2d 441, 448 (Ct. App. 2010)
("It is well settled that an issue may not be raised for the first time in a post-trial
motion."); State v. McKinney, 278 S.C. 107, 108, 292 S.E.2d 598, 599 (1982)
("Absent timely objection at a plea proceeding, the unknowing and involuntary
nature of a guilty plea can only be attacked through the more appropriate channel
of Post-Conviction Relief.").

AFFIRMED.

FEW, C.J., HUFF and SHORT, JJ., concur.

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