Appeal From Greenville County G. Edward Welmaker, Circuit Court Judge
Kenneth E. Sowell, of Anderson, for Appellant.
Rodney M. Brown, of Fountain Inn, for Respondent.
PER CURIAM
Watson Finance Company (Company) appeals the circuit court's order, arguing the circuit court erred in affirming the magistrate's order directing a verdict in favor of Fisher because the magistrate improperly excluded Company's testimony regarding the price of a repair bill. We affirm pursuant to Rule 220(b)(1), SCACR, and the following authorities: Butler v. Edgefield, 328 S.C. 238, 248, 493 S.E.2d 838, 843 (1997) (holding the circuit court, acting as an appellate court in a case heard by the magistrate, cannot consider questions that have not been presented to the magistrate); Taylor v. Medenica, 324 S.C 200, 216, 479 S.E.2d 35, 43 (1996) (holding a party may not argue one ground at trial and an alternate ground on appeal).
We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
AFFIRMED.
WILLIAMS, THOMAS, and LOCKEMY, JJ., concur.
