AFFIRMED
Attorney General Alan McCrory Wilson and Assistant Deputy Attorney General Suzanne Hollifield White, both of Columbia, for Petitioner. Deputy Chief Appellate Defender Wanda H. Carter, of Columbia, for Respondent. PER CURIAM : Affirmed pursuant to Rule 220(b), SCACR, and the following authorities: Caprood v. State, 338 S.C. 103, 109, 525 S.E.2d 514, 517 (2000) ("This [c]ourt gives great deference to the PCR court's findings of fact and conclusions of law."); id. at 109-10, 525 S.E.2d at 517 ("The existence in the record of 'any evidence' of probative value is sufficient to uphold the PCR [court]'s ruling."); Simuel v. State, 390 S.C. 267, 270, 701 S.E.2d 738, 739 (2010) ("This [c]ourt gives great deference to a PCR [court]'s findings where matters of credibility are involved."); Missouri v. Frye, 132 S. Ct. 1399, 1409-10 (2012) (reasoning that in the context of a guilty plea, a finding of prejudice is not ultimately dependent upon whether the defendant would have proceeded to trial, but whether the result of the plea proceedings would have been different); State v. Curry, 410 S.C. 46, 54, 762 S.E.2d 721, 725 (Ct. App. 2014) ("Although a defendant's sentence is the same regardless of whether he is merely guilty or guilty but mentally ill, a defendant found guilty but mentally ill is entitled to immediate treatment and evaluation." (internal quotation marks omitted)). AFFIRMED. SHORT, LOCKEMY, and McDONALD, JJ., concur.
We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR. --------
