PER CURIAM
Kelvin Mays appeals his conviction of second-degree burglary. Mays argues the trial court erred in denying his motion for a mistrial because his character was wrongly attacked, which most likely impacted the verdict. We affirm pursuant to Rule 220(b)(1), SCACR, and the following authorities: State v. Haselden, 353 S.C. 190, 196, 577 S.E.2d 445, 448 (2003) (holding an issue was not preserved when appellant raised relevancy at trial but argued a different ground on appeal, namely that the testimony represented improper character evidence); State v. Washington, 315 S.C. 108, 110, 432 S.E.2d 448, 449 (1992) (holding an appellant may not be heard on appeal to complain of the admission of evidence elicited by his own counsel).
We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
AFFIRMED.
