v.

Marvin L. Williams, Appellant.


Appeal From Colleton County
 Perry M. Buckner, Circuit Court Judge


Unpublished Opinion No. 2011-UP-150
Submitted April 1, 2011 – Filed April 12, 2011   


AFFIRMED


Appellate Defender LaNelle C. DuRant, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Alan M. Wilson, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, and Senior Assistant Attorney General Harold M. Coombs, Jr., of Columbia; and Solicitor I. McDuffie Stone, III, of Bluffton, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Marvin L. Williams pled guilty to two counts of assault and battery with intent to kill, one count of assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature, seven counts of assault with intent to kill, two counts of possession of a weapon during a violent crime, and one count of pointing and presenting a firearm.  On appeal, Williams argues the trial court abused its discretion in denying his request for a continuance.  We affirm[1] pursuant to Rule 220(b)(1), SCACR, and the following authorities: State v. McKennedy, 348 S.C. 270, 280, 559 S.E.2d 850, 855 (2002) (holding "guilty pleas act as a waiver of all non-jurisdictional defects and defenses" and finding the defendant waived his right to appeal the trial court's denial of his motion for a continuance because he pled guilty to the charge); State v. Thomason, 341 S.C. 524, 526, 534 S.E.2d 708, 710 (Ct. App. 2000) ("A guilty plea generally acts as a waiver of all non-jurisdictional defects and defenses. The plea admits all elements of the offense charged, leaves open for review only the sufficiency of the indictment and waives all other defenses.") (internal citation and quotation marks omitted). 

AFFIRMED.

WILLIAMS, GEATHERS, and LOCKEMY, JJ., concur.


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