The State, Respondent,

v.

Antwan Salters, Appellant.

Appeal From Spartanburg County

 Daniel F. Pieper, Circuit Court Judge

 J. Derham Cole, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2008-UP-129

Submitted February 1, 2008 – Filed
February 20, 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 Donald J. Zelenka,
and Senior Assistant Attorney General William Edgar Salter, III, all of
Columbia; and Solicitor Harold W. Gowdy, III, of Spartanburg; for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Antwan Salters pled guilty to murder, armed robbery,
and assault and battery with intent to kill.  On appeal, Salters argues he was
not informed of the full consequences of his guilty plea because the plea judge
did not inform him of his parole ineligibility on the sentence imposed for each
of the crimes or that he would have to serve the full life sentence for
murder.  We affirm[1] pursuant to Rule 220(b), SCACR, and the following authorities:  State v.
Passaro, 350 S.C. 499, 505-06, 567 S.E.2d 862, 866 (2002) (explaining that
a freely and voluntarily entered plea of guilty acts as a waiver of all
non-jurisdictional defects and defenses); 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.

ANDERSON,
SHORT, and THOMAS, JJ., concur.

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