UNPUBLISHED OPINION

Submitted June 1, 2012.

Appeal From Richland County Alison Renee Lee, Circuit Court Judge.

J. Andrew Delaney and C. Edward Rawl, Jr., both of Columbia, for Appellants.

Orin Gail Briggs, of Lexington, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:

Dinah Steel and Larry Mason appeal the issuance of a preliminary injunction, arguing the trial court erred in issuing the preliminary injunction and in making findings of fact unsupported by the record. We vacate the trial court's order and remand pursuant to Rule 220, SCACR and the following authorities:

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

1. As to whether the trial court erred in issuing the preliminary injunction: Compton v. S.C. Dep't of Corr., 392 S.C. 361, 366, 709 S.E.2d 639, 642 (2011) ("Whether to grant a preliminary injunction is left to the sound discretion of the trial court."); Peak v. Spartanburg Reg'l Healthcare Sys., 367 S.C. 450, 454, 626 S.E.2d 34, 36 (Ct. App. 2005) ("An abuse of discretion occurs when the decision of the trial court is unsupported by the evidence or controlled by an error of law."); Rule 201(e), SCRE ("A party is entitled upon timely request to an opportunity to be heard as to the propriety of taking judicial notice and the tenor of the matter noticed. In the absence of prior notification, the request may be made after judicial notice has been taken.").

2. As to the remaining issues: Futch v. McAllister Towing of Georgetown, Inc., 335 S.C. 598, 613, 518 S.E.2d 591, 598 (1999) (stating when one issue is dispositive of a case, the appellate court need not address any remaining issues).

WILLIAMS, THOMAS, and LOCKEMY, JJ., concur.
