In The Court of Appeals

Anthony Walker, Respondent,

v.

South Carolina
Budget and Control Board, South Carolina Retirement Systems, Appellant.

Appeal From Administrative Law Court

 John D. McLeod, Administrative Law Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2010-UP-207

Submitted March 1, 2010 – Filed March 15, 2010   

AFFIRMED

David K. Avant and Justin R. Werner, both of Columbia, for
Appellant.

Brian L. Boger, of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  South Carolina Retirement Systems (SCRS)
appeals the Administrative Law Court's (ALC) dismissal of Walker's claim
requesting reimbursement for the cost of purchasing additional time necessary
in order to retire.  SCRS argues the ALC erred in holding it lacked
jurisdiction to hear Walker's claim.  We affirm[1] pursuant to Rule 220(b), SCACR, and the following authorities:  Rule 201(b), SCACR ("Only a party aggrieved by
an order, judgment, sentence or decision may appeal."); Beaufort Realty
Co., Inc. v. Beaufort County, 346 S.C. 298, 301, 551 S.E.2d 588, 589-90
(Ct. App. 2001) ("A party cannot appeal from a decision which does not
affect his or her interest, however erroneous and prejudicial it may be to some
other person's rights and interests."); Id. at 301, 551 S.E.2d at
589 ("The word 'aggrieved' refers to a substantial grievance, a denial of
some personal or property right, or the imposition on a party of a burden or
obligation.").        

AFFIRMED.

HUFF, THOMAS, and KONDUROS, JJ., concur. 

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