Campbell, 376 S.C. 212, 215, 656 S.E.2d 371, 373 (2008) ("It is a long-standing rule of law that a trial judge is without jurisdiction to consider a criminal matter once the term of court during which judgment was entered expires."); Rule 29(a), SCRCrimP (permitting post-trial motions to be made within ten days after the imposition of the sentence); see generally Collins Music Co. v. IGT, 353 S.C. 559, 564, 579 S.E.2d 524, 526 (Ct.

AFFIRMED.
