UNPUBLISHED OPINION

Submitted October 1, 2012

Appeal From Greenville County C. Victor Pyle, Jr., Circuit Court Judge

Appellate Defender Dayne C. Phillips, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Alan Wilson, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Senior Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, Assistant Deputy Attorney General David Spencer, all of Columbia; and Solicitor W. Walter Wilkins, III, of Greenville, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM

Donnie Walls appeals his conviction of driving under the influence, arguing the trial judge abused his discretion by refusing to grant a mistrial. We affirm pursuant to Rule 220(b), SCACR, and the following authorities: See State v. Brown, 389 S.C. 84, 95, 697 S.E.2d 622, 628 (Ct. App. 2010) ("If a trial court issues a curative instruction, a party must make a contemporaneous objection to the sufficiency of the curative instruction to preserve an alleged error for review.") State v. George, 323 S.C. 496, 510, 476 S.E.2d 903, 912 (1996) ("No issue is preserved for appellate review if the objecting party accepts the judge's ruling and does not contemporaneously make an additional objection to the sufficiency of the curative charge or move for a mistrial.").

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

AFFIRMED.

FEW, C. J, and WILLIAMS and PIEPER, JJ, concur
