UNPUBLISHED OPINION

Submitted April 1, 2014

Appeal From Greenville County Alexander S. Macaulay, Circuit Court Judge

Robert T. Williams, Sr. and Benjamin Allen Stitely, both of Williams Hendrix Steigner & Brink, PA, of Lexington, for Appellants.

Attorney General Alan McCrory Wilson, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, and Assistant Deputy Attorney General S. Creighton Waters, all of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM

Richard G. Thompson, d/b/a All-Out-Bail Bonding and Accredited Property and Casualty Insurance (All-Out), appeals the trial court's order estreating $66, 666.66 of Mario Ramos Hinojos's bond, arguing (1) the trial court erred by estreating the bond following an amendment to section 17-15-20(B) of the South Carolina Code (Supp. 2013) and (2) the trial court abused its discretion by failing to fully address the factors from Polk. We affirm.

Ex parte Polk, 354 S.C. 8, 579 S.E.2d 329 (Ct. App. 2003).

1.Because this court previously decided the issue of estreatment in this case, the trial court properly refused to consider this issue on remand. See Prince v. Beaufort Mem'l Hosp., 392 S.C. 599, 606, 709 S.E.2d 122, 126 (Ct. App. 2011) ("Matters decided by the appellate court cannot be reheard, reconsidered, or relitigated in the trial court, even under the guise of a different form." (internal quotation marks omitted)); id. at 605, 709 S.E.2d at 125 ("A trial court has no authority to exceed the mandate of the appellate court on remand." (brackets and internal quotation marks omitted)); Sloan Constr. Co. v. Southco Grassing, Inc., 395 S.C. 164, 169, 717 S.E.2d 603, 606 (2011) ("[A] party is precluded from relitigating, after an appeal, matters that were . . . raised on appeal, but expressly rejected by the appellate court." (internal quotation marks omitted)).

State v. Hinojos, 393 S.C. 517, 713 S.E.2d 351 (Ct. App. 2011).

2.We find the trial court fully addressed the factors from Polk; therefore, the trial court did not abuse its discretion. See State v. Policao, 402 S.C. 547, 552, 741 S.E.2d 774, 776 (Ct. App. 2013) ("The trial court's estreatment of a bond forfeiture will not be set aside unless there has been an abuse of discretion."); State v. McClinton, 369 S.C. 167, 170, 631 S.E.2d 895, 896 (2006) (explaining an abuse of discretion occurs when the trial court's ruling is based on an error of law or without evidentiary support).

AFFIRMED.

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

WILLIAMS, KONDUROS, and LOCKEMY, JJ., concur.
