The State, Respondent,

v.

Jovan McRant, Appellant.

Appeal From Lexington County

Larry R. Patterson, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2009-UP-203

Submitted April 1, 2009 – Filed May 18,
2009

AFFIRMED

Appellate Defender Kathrine H. Hudgins, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott,
and Senior Assistant Attorney General Harold M. Coombs, Jr., all of Columbia;
and Solicitor Donald V. Myers, of Lexington, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Jovan McRant
appeals his convictions for armed robbery, possession of a pistol under the age
of twenty-one, possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime,
and fifteen year prison sentence.  McRant argues the trial court erred in failing
to suppress the results of a gun shot residue test and in failing to grant a
continuance.  We affirm[1] pursuant to Rule 220(b), SCACR, and the following authority: State v. Dunbar, 356 S.C. 138, 142, 587 S.E.2d
691, 694 (2003) (finding a party cannot argue a different ground for error
on appeal than that argued at trial).

AFFIRMED.

Hearn,
C.J., Pieper and
Lockemy, JJ., concur.

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