App. 2002) (finding an issue must be raised to and ruled upon by the trial court in order to be considered on appeal); State v. Bailey, 298 S.C. 1, 5, 377 S.E.2d 581, 584 (1989) (holding a party cannot argue one ground at trial and then an alternative ground on appeal).

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

AFFIRMED.
