AFFIRMED

of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Alan Wilson, Chief Deputy
Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W.
Elliott, and Assistant Attorney General William M. Blitch, Jr., all of Columbia;
and Solicitor W. Walter Wilkins, III, of Greenville, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Dorlisa T. Breazeal-Young
appeals her conviction for breach of trust greater than five thousand dollars,
arguing the trial court erred in admitting into evidence receipt books listed
on the return to the search warrant of her home as miscellaneous documents in a
black bag.  We affirm[1] pursuant to Rule 220(b)(1), SCACR,
and the following authorities: State
v. Pagan, 369 S.C. 201, 208, 631
S.E.2d 262, 265 (2006) (stating "[t]he admission of evidence is within the
discretion of the trial court and will not be reversed absent an abuse of
discretion," which "occurs
when the conclusions of the trial court either lack evidentiary support or are
controlled by an error of law"); S.C. Code Ann. § 17-13-140 (2003)
(commanding the officer executing a warrant issued under this section to "make
and deliver a signed inventory of any articles seized by virtue of the warrant,
which shall be delivered to the judicial officer to whom the return is to be
made");  State v. Corns, 310 S.C. 546, 552, 426 S.E. 2d 324, 326
(Ct. App. 1992) (holding the listing on a return of the items seized pursuant
to a search warrant is a ministerial act); State v. Weaver, 374 S.C.
313, 323, 649 S.E.2d 479, 484 (2007) (finding "the State's failure to
comply with the statutory ministerial requirement does not void the warrant and
the evidence can not be excluded on this ground" absent a showing of
prejudice caused by this failure). 

AFFIRMED.

HUFF, PIEPER,
and LOCKEMY, JJ., concur.

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