Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, Senior Assistant Attorney General Norman Mark Rapoport, all of Columbia; and Solicitor Robert Mills Ariail, of Greenville, for Respondent.

 

 

PER CURIAM: Anthony Griggs was convicted of possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and trafficking in crack cocaine.  Griggs appeals arguing the trial court should have suppressed drug evidence obtained during a warrantless search of the house.   We affirm[1] pursuant to Rule 220(b), SCACR, and the following authorities: Rule 220(c), SCACR, (stating this court may affirm a trial court's ruling for any reason appearing in the Record on Appeal); State v. McKnight, 291 S.C. 110, 114-15, 352 S.E.2d 471, 473 (1987) (stating a defendant who seeks to suppress evidence on Fourth Amendment grounds must demonstrate a legitimate expectation of privacy in connection with the searched premises in order to have standing to challenge the search); State v. Missouri, 361 S.C. 107, 112, 603 S.E.2d 594, 596 (2004) ("A legitimate expectation of privacy is both subjective and objective in nature: the defendant must show (1) he had a subjective expectation of not being discovered, and (2) the expectation is one that society recognizes as reasonable.").    

 

AFFIRMED.

 

PIEPER, GEATHERS, JJ., and CURETON, A.J., concur.
