PER CURIAM:
Affirmed pursuant to Rule 220(b), SCACR, and the following authorities: State v. McKinney, 278 S.C. 107, 108, 292 S.E.2d 598, 599 (1982) (per curiam) ("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."); Charleston Cty. Sch. Dist. v. Charleston Cty. Election Comm'n, 336 S.C. 174, 179, 519 S.E.2d 567, 570 (1999) ("Whether to issue a writ of mandamus lies within the sound discretion of the [circuit] court, and an appellate court will not overturn that decision unless the [circuit] court abuses its discretion."); State v. Pagan, 369 S.C. 201, 208, 631 S.E.2d 262, 265 (2006) ("An abuse of discretion occurs when the conclusions of the [circuit] court either lack evidentiary support or are controlled by an error of law."); Lombard Iron Works & Supply Co. v. Town of Allendale, 187 S.C. 89, 95-96, 196 S.E. 513, 516 (1938) (explaining a writ of mandamus is based on the concept an authority charged with a purely ministerial duty can be required to perform that duty in the case of refusal).
We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
WILLIAMS and KONDUROS, JJ., and LEE, A.J., concur.
