Unpublished Opinion No. 2009-UP-172

Submitted April 1, 2009 – Filed April 27,
2009  

AFFIRMED

Franklin C. Reaves, pro se Appellant.

Willie D. Reaves, pro se Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Franklin Reeves appeals from the family
court’s order finding him in contempt for
his willful violation of the court’s prior order to pay alimony to Willie
Reaves.  We affirm pursuant
to Rule 220(b), SCACR, and the following authorities: S.C Code Ann. § 63-3-620 (Supp. 2008) (“An adult who
willfully violates, neglects, or refuses to obey or perform a lawful order of the court . . . may be proceeded against for contempt of court.”); Frye v. Frye, 323 S.C. 72, 75-76, 448
S.E.2d 586, 588 (Ct. App. 1994) (citing Jordan v. Harrison, 303
S.C. 522, 402 S.E.2d 188 (Ct. App. 1991)) (“[W]here one held in contempt for violation of a court order complies with the order, his compliance renders
the issue of contempt moot
and precludes appellate review of the contempt proceeding.”).

AFFIRMED. [1]

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

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