STATE v. BROWN

No. 24168.

451 S.E.2d 888 (1994)

The STATE, Respondent, v. George Anthony BROWN, Appellant.

Supreme Court of South Carolina.

Decided December 12, 1994.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Douglas S. Strickler, Columbia, for appellant.

T. Travis Medlock, Atty. Gen., Donald J. Zelenka, Chief Deputy Atty. Gen., Harold M. Coombs, Jr., Sr. Asst. Atty. Gen., Norman Mark Rapoport, Asst. Atty. Gen., Columbia, and Holman C. Gossett, Jr., Sol. of Seventh Judicial Circuit, Spartanburg, for respondent.

TOAL, Justice:

Appellant, George Brown (Brown), appeals his conviction for possession of crack cocaine with intent to distribute. Brown claims the provision in S.C.Code Ann. § 44-53-375 (Supp.1991) of higher penalties for possession with intent to distribute crack cocaine than are provided for cocaine in other forms violates the Equal Protection and Due Process Clauses of the United States Constitution. We disagree and affirm.
