Unpublished Opinion No.   2009-UP-066

Submitted February 2, 2009 – Filed
February 9, 2009

AFFIRMED

Mark W. McKnight, of Charleston, for Appellant.

Samuel A. Altman, of Charleston, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Darrell Driggers
appeals a grant of summary judgment in favor of First Federal Savings and Loan
Association.  Driggers argues the trial court's grant of summary judgment was
improper because he lacked notice of facts and circumstances indicating a claim
existed.  We affirm[1] pursuant to Rule 220(b), SCACR, and the following authorities:  S.C. Code Ann. § 15-3-530(5) (2005) (providing a three
year statute of limitations for "any injury to the person or rights of
another, not arising on contract and not enumerated by law");  S.C. Code
Ann. § 15-3-535 (2005) (stating the limitations period under section
15-3-530(5) begins to run when the claimant "knew or by the exercise of
reasonable diligence should have known that he had a cause of action").

AFFIRMED.

Huff, Williams,
and Konduros, JJ., concur.

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