PER CURIAM:
Bert Wayne Foster appeals the sentences he received for two armed robbery convictions, arguing the trial court erred in imposing consecutive sentences. We affirm pursuant to Rule 220(b)(1), SCACR, and the following authorities: State v. Dunbar, 356 S.C. 138, 142, 587 S.E.2d 691, 693-94 (2003) ("In order for an issue to be preserved for appellate review, it must have been raised to and ruled upon by the trial [court]. Issues not raised and ruled upon in the trial court will not be considered on appeal."); State v. Passmore, 363 S.C. 568, 585, 611 S.E.2d 273, 282 (Ct. App. 2005) ("[A] challenge to sentencing must be raised at trial, or the issue will not be preserved for appellate review." (quoting State v. Johnston, 333 S.C. 459, 462, 510 S.E.2d 423, 425 (1999)) (internal quotation marks omitted)).
We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
AFFIRMED.
