PER CURIAM:
In this direct appeal, Appellant James Carrier appeals his conviction for lewd act. We affirm pursuant to Rule 220(b)(1), SCACR and the following authorities: Issue 1. State v Batchelor, 377 S.C. 341, 344, 661 S.E.2d 58, 59 (2008) ("The regularity of grand jury proceedings is presumed absent clear evidence to the contrary; the burden is on the defendant to prove facts upon which a challenge to the legality of the grand jury proceedings is predicated." (citations omitted)); State v. Brownfield, 60 S.C. 509, 515, 39 S.E. 2, 4 (1901) (finding that where a motion to quash an indictment is unsupported by evidence, "'it cannot be held to have been erroneously denied.'" (quoting Smith v. Mississippi, 162 U.S. 592, 601 (1896))); Shinn v. Kreul, 311 S.C. 94, 102, 427 S.E.2d 695, 700 (Ct.

In re Justin B., 405 S.C. 391, 409, 747 S.E.2d 774, 783 (2013) (finding the GPS monitoring requirement is a civil remedy and its practical effects are non-punitive, concluding that electronic monitoring is not so severe as to violate the Eighth Amendment prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment, and reaffirming that all sex offenders subject to GPS monitoring may periodically petition for judicial review of the necessity of continued monitoring); State v. Nation, 408 S.C. 474, 481–82, 759 S.E.2d 428, 432 (2014) (expressly declining to overrule Justin B.). Issue 3. State v. Herring, 387 S.C. 201, 216, 692 S.E.2d 490, 498 (2009) ("[W]hether to grant or deny a mistrial is within the discretion of the trial court and will not be reversed on appeal absent an abuse of discretion. The grant of a motion for a mistrial is an extreme measure which should be taken only where an incident is so grievous that the prejudicial effect can be removed in no other way."
