UNPUBLISHED OPINION

August 1, 2012

Appeal From Edgefield County No. 2008-085166 R. Knox McMahon, Circuit Court Judge.

Deputy Chief Appellate Defender Wanda H. Carter, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Alan Wilson, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Senior Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, all of Columbia; and Solicitor Donald V. Myers, of Lexington, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM.

Counsel for appellant filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), asserting there were no meritorious grounds for appeal and requesting permission to withdraw from further representation. The Court denied the request to withdraw and directed the parties to file additional briefs.

After careful consideration of the record and briefs, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed pursuant to Rule 220(b), SCACR, and the following authority: State v. White, 361 S.C. 407, 412, 605 S.E.2d 540, 542 (2004) (noting that a trial court properly "refus[es] to charge a lesser included offense where there is no evidence tending to show the defendant was guilty only of the lesser offense").

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

AFFIRMED.

FEW, C.J., and WILLIAMS and PIEPER, JJ, concur.
