Appeal From Spartanburg County

 J. Derham Cole, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2008-UP-091

Submitted February 1, 2008 – Filed
February 8, 2008  

AFFIRMED

Appellate Defender Lanelle C. Durant, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott,
Assistant Attorney General Norman Mark Rapoport, all of Columbia; and Solicitor
Harold W. Gowdy, of Spartanburg, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Derrek
Young pled guilty to two counts of
trafficking in powder cocaine over twenty-eight grams.  Young appeals, arguing
the plea judge erred in considering the two counts as two strikes against him,
rather than just one.  We affirm[1] pursuant to Rule 220(b), SCACR, and the following authority:  State v.
Thomason, 341 S.C. 524, 526, 534 S.E.2d 708, 710 (Ct. App. 2000) (“A guilty
plea generally acts as a waiver of all non-jurisdictional defects and defenses.”). 

AFFIRMED.

HEARN,
C.J., PIEPER, J., and GOOLSBY, A.J., concur.

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