Acting Chief Attorney Joseph L. Savitz, III, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, all of Columbia; and Solicitor Thomas E. Pope, of York, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Javaris Antwan Cousar appeals his guilty plea and sentence of fourteen years for possession of crack cocaine with intent to distribute and possession of crack cocaine with intent to distribute within a half-mile radius of a public school.  Cousar also pled no contest to second degree burglary and armed robbery.  Cousar argues his plea was conditional and thus invalid.

APPEAL DISMISSED[1]
