Appellate Defender, Elizabeth A. Franklin-Best, 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 Julie M. Thames, of Columbia; and Solicitor Jay E. Hodge, Jr.,

PER CURIAM: Anthony L. Freeman appeals his guilty plea to possession with intent to
distribute marijuana.  Freeman argues the trial court abused its discretion by
not allowing Freeman to withdraw his guilty plea.  We affirm[1] pursuant to Rule 220(b)(1), SCACR, and the
following authority: Wilder Corp. v.
Wilke, 330 S.C. 71, 76, 497 S.E.2d
731, 733 (1998) ("It is axiomatic that an issue cannot be raised for
the first time on appeal, but must have been raised to and ruled upon by the
trial judge to be preserved for appellate review.").

Affirmed.

Short, Thomas, and
Konduros, JJ.,
concur.

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