AFFIRMED
Adam Hill, Jr., of Anniston, AL, pro se.
Edward S. McCallum, III, of the Law Offices of Edward S. McCallum, III, of Greenwood, for Respondent. PER CURIAM : Affirmed pursuant to Rule 220(b), SCACR, and the following authorities: Rule 56(c), SCRCP (stating the trial court should grant summary judgment "if the pleadings, depositions, answers to interrogatories, and admissions on file, together with the affidavits, if any, show that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that the moving party is entitled to a judgment as a matter of law"); Carolina Alliance for Fair Employment v. S.C. Dep't of Labor, Licensing, & Regulation, 337 S.C. 476, 485, 523 S.E.2d 795, 800 (Ct. App. 1999) ("The plain language of Rule 56(c), SCRCP, mandates the entry of summary judgment, after adequate time for discovery against a party who fails to make a showing sufficient to establish the existence of an element essential to the party's case and on which that party will bear the burden of proof at trial."); Hedgepath v. AT&T, 348 S.C. 340, 355, 559 S.E.2d 327, 336 (Ct. App. 2001) ("[W]hen plain, palpable, and indisputable facts exist on which reasonable minds cannot differ, summary judgment should be granted."); id. at 354, 559 S.E.2d at 335 ("Once the moving party carries its initial burden, the opposing party must . . . do more than simply show that there is some metaphysical doubt as to the material facts[;] [the opposing party] must come forward with specific facts showing that there is a genuine issue for trial." (internal quotation marks, emphasis, and citation omitted)). AFFIRMED.
We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
