Lawrence E. Flynn, Jr. and Elinor V. Lister, of

PER CURIAM: Conrad C. Hurst, III appeals the denial of his motion
for relief from default judgment, arguing the trial court erred in its
determination that Hurst did not have justifications for not responding to W B
Holdings's complaint in a timely manner. We affirm1 pursuant to Rule
220(b)(1), SCACR, and the following authority: Rodriguez v. Gutierrez, 391
S.C. 323, 329, 705 S.E.2d 94, 98 (Ct. App. 2011) ("The decision whether to
set aside an entry of default or a default judgment lies solely within the sound
discretion of the [trial] court."); id. ("The [trial] court's decision will not be
disturbed on appeal absent a clear showing of an abuse of that discretion.").

AFFIRMED.

PIEPER, KONDUROS, and GEATHERS, JJ., concur.

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