Appeal From Orangeburg County

James C. Williams, Jr., Circuit Court Judge

AFFIRMED

Appellate Defender Elizabeth A. Franklin-Best, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Alan Wilson, Chief Deputy Attorney General John McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, and Assistant Attorney General William M. Blitch, Jr., all of Columbia; and Solicitor David M. Pascoe, Jr., of Summerville, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM : Lindy Jones appeals his conviction for assault with intent to commit criminal sexual conduct with a minor. Jones argues the trial court erroneously instructed the jury assault with intent to commit criminal sexual conduct is a lesser included offense of criminal sexual conduct with a minor in the second degree. We affirm pursuant to Rule 220(b)(1), SCACR, and the following authorities: Rule 20(b), SCRCrimP ("[T]he parties shall be given the opportunity to object to the giving [of] . . . an instruction . . . . Any objection shall state distinctly the matter objected to and the grounds for objection. Failure to object in accordance with this rule shall constitute a waiver of objection."); State v. Dunbar, 356 S.C. 138, 142, 587 S.E.2d 691, 693-94 (2003) (finding an issue is preserved for appellate review when it was raised to and ruled upon by the trial court, and the argument presented was on the same ground); and State v. Benton, 338 S.C. 151, 156-57, 526 S.E.2d 228, 231 (2000) (holding an issue regarding a jury charge is not preserved on appeal when appellant argued one ground at trial and argues another ground on appeal).

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

AFFIRMED.

SHORT, WILLIAMS, and GEATHERS, JJ., concur.
