Lawrence Barron, pro se, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, and Assistant Attorney General Colleen E. Dixon, all of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Lawrence Barron appeals the post-conviction relief (PCR) court's dismissal of his petition for a writ of habeas corpus, arguing a writ of habeas corpus is not subject to the procedural requirements of a PCR application.  We affirm[1] pursuant to Rule 220(b)(1), SCACR, and the following authority: Keeler v. Mauney, 330 S.C. 568, 571, 500 S.E.2d 123, 124 (Ct. App. 1998) ("A person is procedurally barred from petitioning the circuit court for a writ of habeas corpus where the matter alleged is one which could have been raised in a PCR application.").

Affirmed.

HUFF, THOMAS, and KONDUROS, JJ., concur.
