PER CURIAM: Karen
Bennett appeals the South Carolina Parole Board's (the Board) denial of her
parole, arguing the Board failed to comply with Cooper v. South Carolina Department of Probation,
Parole and Pardon Services. 377 S.C.
489, 661 S.E.2d 106 (2008).  We affirm[1] pursuant to Rule 220(b)(1), SCACR, and
the following authority: Compton v.
S.C. Dep't of Prob., Parole & Pardon Servs., 385 S.C. 476, 479, 685 S.E.2d 175, 179 (2009)
(holding an order denying parole is sufficient under Cooper if it states
the Board considered the statutory criteria in section 24-21-640 of the South
Carolina Code (2007) and parole form 1212). 

Affirmed.

FEW, C.J., WILLIAMS, J., and CURETON, A.J., concur.
