AFFIRMED

Appellate Defender Robert M. Pachak, of Columbia, for Appellant. Attorney General Alan McCrory Wilson and Assistant Deputy Attorney General Tracy A. Meyers, both of Columbia; and Solicitor William Walter Wilkins, III, of Greenville, for Respondent. PER CURIAM: Affirmed pursuant to Rule 220(b), SCACR, and the following authorities: State v. Provet, 391 S.C. 494, 507, 706 S.E.2d 513, 520 (Ct. App. 2011) ("Warrantless searches and seizures are reasonable within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment when conducted under the authority of voluntary consent."), aff'd, 405 S.C. 101, 747 S.E.2d 453 (2013); id. (holding the voluntariness of consent is a question of fact to be determined from the totality of the circumstances and an appellate court will not disturb the trial court's finding of consent unless it was so manifestly erroneous as to be an abuse of discretion); State v. Banda, 371 S.C. 245, 251, 639 S.E.2d 36, 39 (2006) (holding that in a criminal case, this court will not reverse a trial court's factual finding unless it is clearly erroneous and the same standard of review applies to the admission of evidence); State v. Missouri, 361 S.C. 107, 111, 603 S.E.2d 594, 596 (2004) (holding in a Fourth Amendment search and seizure case, this court must affirm if the record contains any evidence supporting the trial court's finding); Minnesota v. Dickerson, 508 U.S. 366, 375 (1993) ("If a police officer lawfully pats down a suspect's outer clothing and feels an object whose contour or mass makes its identity immediately apparent, there has been no invasion of the suspect's privacy beyond that already authorized by the officer's search for weapons . . . ."). AFFIRMED.

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

HUFF, SHORT, AND KONDUROS, JJ., concur.
