v.

Terris L. Martin, Appellant.


Appeal From Richland County
 Alison Renee Lee, Circuit Court Judge


Unpublished Opinion No. 2010-UP-286
Submitted May 3, 2010 – Filed May 20, 2010


AFFIRMED


Appellate Defender M. Celia Robinson, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, Senior Assistant Attorney General Harold M. Coombs, Jr., and Solicitor Warren Blair Giese, all of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:   Terris L. Martin appeals his guilty plea to possession with intent to distribute marijuana, second offense.  On appeal, Martin argues the plea court erred in finding his guilty plea was knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily entered because the plea court failed to explain to him that the inference of intent to distribute was permissive, not mandatory.  We affirm[1] pursuant to Rule 220(b)(1), SCACR, and the following authority:  State v. Barton, 325 S.C. 522, 530 n.6, 481 S.E.2d 439, 443 n.6 (Ct. App. 1997) (holding absent a timely objection at the plea proceeding, the unknowing and involuntary nature of a guilty plea will not be considered on direct appeal). 

AFFIRMED.

HUFF, SHORT, and WILLIAMS, JJ., concur.


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