Appeal From Darlington County, J. Michael Baxley, Circuit Court Judge
Deputy Chief Appellate Defender Wanda H. Carter, of Columbia, for Appellant.
Attorney General Alan McCrory Wilson and Senior Assistant Deputy Attorney General John Benjamin Aplin, both of Columbia, for Respondent.
PER CURIAM:
Counsel for appellant filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), asserting that 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, we affirm the trial court pursuant to Rule 220(b), SCACR, and the following authorities: State v. Dunbar, 356 S.C. 138, 142, 587 S.E.2d 691, 693-94 (2003) ("Issues not raised and ruled upon in the trial court will not be considered on appeal."); State v. Byers, 392 S.C. 438, 444, 710 S.E.2d 55, 58 (2011) ("For an objection to be preserved for appellate review, the objection must be made . . . with sufficient specificity to inform the [trial court] of the point being urged by the objector . . . .").
We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
AFFIRMED.
