PER CURIAM: Javerus A. Griffin pled guilty to voluntary manslaughter and was sentenced to thirty years' imprisonment.

Gaster, 349 S.C. 545, 552, 564 S.E.2d 87, 91 (2002) (holding constitutional issues must be raised to and ruled upon by the trial court in order to preserve the issues for appellate review).
AFFIRMED.
FEW, C.J., SHORT and WILLIAMS, JJ., concur.
[1] We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
