UNPUBLISHED OPINION
Submitted September 4, 2012
Appeal From Richland County No. 2011-199967, DeAndrea G. Benjamin, Circuit Court Judge.
Isiah James, Jr., pro se.
Tommy Evans, Jr., of the South Carolina Department of Probation, Parole and Pardon Services, of Columbia, for Respondent.
PER CURIAM.
Affirmed pursuant to Rule 220(b), SCACR, and the following authorities:
1.As to whether the circuit court lacked jurisdiction to hear an appeal from the Administrative Law Court: S.C. Code Ann. § 14-8-200(a) (Supp. 2011) ("[The court of appeals] has jurisdiction over any case in which an appeal is taken from . . . a final decision of [the Administrative Law Court] . . . ."); State v. Stahlnecker, 386 S.C. 609, 619, 690 S.E.2d 565, 570 (2010) ("A change in the law does not violate the ex post facto clause if it merely affects a mode of procedure and does not alter substantial personal rights.").
2. As to whether the circuit court erred in refusing to reverse James's 1979 convictions: Futch v. McAllister Towing of Georgetown, Inc., 335 S.C. 598, 613, 518 S.E.2d 591, 598 (1999) (noting an appellate court need not address remaining issues when the determination of a prior issue is dispositive of an entire appeal).
We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
FEW, C.J., WILLIAMS and PIEPER, JJ, concur.
