UNPUBLISHED OPINION
Heard September 9, 2014
Appeal From Greenville County Steven H. John, Circuit Court Judge
Appellate Defender Robert M. Pachak, of Columbia, for Appellant.
Attorney General Alan McCrory Wilson and Assistant Attorney General John Benjamin Aplin, of Columbia, for Respondent.
PER CURIAM
Patrick Lowrance appeals his conviction for possession of a stolen vehicle, arguing the trial court erred in denying his motion for directed verdict because the evidence was insufficient to show the vehicle was stolen. We affirm pursuant to Rule 220(b), SCACR, and the following authorities: State v. Lane, 406 S.C. 118, 121, 749 S.E.2d 165, 167 (Ct. App. 2013) ("If there is any direct evidence, or if there is substantial circumstantial evidence, which reasonably tends to prove the defendant's guilt, an appellate court must find the trial court properly submitted the case to the jury."); id. ("On appeal from the denial of a directed verdict, an appellate court must view the evidence in the light most favorable to the State.").
AFFIRMED.
WILLIAMS, GEATHERS, and McDONALD, JJ., concur.
