UNPUBLISHED OPINION
Heard April 15, 2015
Appeal From Aiken County Doyet A. Early, III, Circuit Court Judge
Appellate Defender LaNelle Cantey DuRant, of Columbia, for Appellant.
Attorney General Alan McCrory Wilson and Assistant Attorney General Christina Catoe Bigelow, both of Columbia; and Solicitor James Strom Thurmond, Jr., of Aiken, for Respondent.
PER CURIAM
Michael Tyrone Quarles appeals his convictions for kidnapping and armed robbery, arguing the trial court erred by admitting a recording of the victim's 911 call and allowing it to be played for the jury. We affirm pursuant to Rule 220(b), SCACR, and the following authorities: State v. Collins, 409 S.C. 524, 530, 534, 763 S.E.2d 22, 25, 27-28 (2014) (stating the admission of evidence, or its exclusion under Rule 403, SCRE, is within the trial court's sound discretion); State v. Gray, 408 S.C. 601, 608, 759 S.E.2d 160, 164 (Ct. App. 2014) (recognizing this court will not reverse the trial court's decision regarding a Rule 403 objection absent an abuse of discretion and resulting prejudice); State v. Stephens, 398 S.C. 314, 319-20, 728 S.E.2d 68, 71 (Ct. App. 2012) (noting this court must give great deference to the trial court's decision regarding Rule 403); State v. Shuler, 353 S.C. 176, 184-86, 577 S.E.2d 438, 442-43 (2003) (applying a Rule 403 analysis to assess the admissibility of a 911 tape).
AFFIRMED.
