PER CURIAM

Richard David Ratliff appeals his convictions for three counts of second-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor, two counts of lewd act with a minor, and three counts of criminal solicitation of a minor. Ratliff argues the trial court erred in admitting irrelevant and prejudicial character evidence. 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 for review when the party argued one ground at trial and another on appeal); Wierszewski v. Tokarick, 308 S.C. 441, 444 n.2, 418 S.E.2d 557, 559 n.2 (Ct. App. 1992) ("An issue is not preserved for review merely because the trial court mentions it.").

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

FEW, C.J., and THOMAS and KONDUROS, JJ., concur.
