Appeal From Richland County
William P. Keesley, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No.� 2010-UP-409
Submitted September 1, 2010 � Filed September 16, 2010

REVERSED

Senior Appellate Defender 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, Senior Assistant Attorney General Norman Mark Rapoport, and Solicitor Warren B. Giese, all of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:� John Joseph Moore was convicted of voluntary manslaughter, possession of a pistol by a person under the age of twenty-one, and use of a firearm during commission of a violent crime.� On appeal, Moore argues the trial court erred in declining to dismiss the charge of possession of a pistol by a person under the age of twenty-one because section 16-23-30(A)(3) of the South Carolina Code (2007) was found unconstitutional.� We reverse[1] Moore's possession of a pistol conviction pursuant to Rule 220(b)(1), SCACR, and the following authority: State v. Bolin, 378 S.C. 96, 100, 662 S.E.2d 38, 40 (2008) (finding section 16-23-30(A)(3) unconstitutional because it violates the plain language of article XVII, section 14, of the South Carolina Constitution).�

REVERSED.

SHORT, THOMAS, and LOCKEMY, JJ., concur.

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