PER CURIAM:� Shannon D. McGee appeals his convictions and sentences for second-degree criminal sexual conduct, second-degree assault with the intent to commit criminal sexual conduct with a minor, and lewd act upon a minor child.� On appeal, he argues the trial court erred in denying his motion for a new trial based on the State's Brady v. Maryland violation.� We affirm pursuant to Rule 220(b), SCACR, and the following authorities:� State v. Johnson, 376 S.C. 8, 11, 654 S.E.2d 835, 836 (2007) ("A trial judge has the discretion to grant or deny a motion for a new trial, and his decision will not be reversed absent a clear abuse of discretion.");� Riddle v. Ozmint, 369 S.C. 39, 44, 631 S.E.2d 70, 73 (2006) ("An individual asserting a Brady violation must demonstrate that evidence [is]: (1) favorable to the accused; (2) in the possession of or known by the prosecution; (3) was suppressed by the State; and (4) was material to the accused's guilt or innocence or was impeaching.").
