PER CURIAM:  Mark Steven
Hoyt appeals his convictions for possession of crack cocaine with intent to
distribute and possession of crack cocaine with intent to distribute within
proximity of a school, for which Hoyt received eight years' imprisonment, concurrent with one year of
active time and two years' of probation, respectively.  We affirm[1] pursuant to Rule 220(b), SCACR, and the following authorities:  Rule
208(b)(1)(B), SCACR ("Ordinarily, no point will
be considered which is not set forth in the statement of the issues on appeal."); State v. Bailey, 298 S.C. 1, 5-6, 377 S.E.2d 581, 584 (1989)
(holding that an issue is not preserved when a party argues one ground for a
directed verdict at trial and then an alternative ground on appeal).

AFFIRMED.

SHORT,
THOMAS, and KONDUROS, JJ., concur.

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