Attorney General Alan McCrory Wilson, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Senior Assistant Deputy Attorney General Donald J. Zelenka, and Assistant Attorney General Sherrie Ann Butterbaugh, all of Columbia; and Solicitor Scarlett Anne Wilson, of Charleston, for Respondent. Jason Edward Kinloch appeals his convictions for murder, armed robbery, and criminal conspiracy, arguing the trial court erred in (1) denying his motion for a directed verdict when the State failed to present independent corroborating evidence beyond his confessions and (2) admitting a shotgun seized from an alleged accomplice when it was irrelevant and its probative value was substantially outweighed by its unduly prejudicial effect. |

Zelenka, and Senior Assistant Attorney General Melody Jane Brown, all of Columbia, for Respondent. Solicitor Jimmy A. Richardson, II, of Conway, for Respondent.

Colwell, of Nexsen Pruet, LLC, of Charleston, for Respondent Cat Island POA. Nathan Michael Haber, of Charleston, for Respondent South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control. Appellants, homeowners of residential, lakefront lots in the Cat Island/Rookery area of Beaufort County, appeal the Administrative Law Court's (ALC's) order approving a permit allowing Respondent, Cat Island POA, to change the existing storm water management system in the community. The change would result in the abandonment of a seven-acre lake currently serving as a detention and treatment pond in favor of in-line filters. Appellants contend the ALC made numerous errors primarily related to its interpretation and application of the South Carolina Coastal Management Program. |

|

2015-000035 First South Bank, Respondent,
v.
John E. Rosenberg and Philip J. Brust, Defendants,
Of whom The Estate of Philip J. Brust is the Appellant. Robert Ernest Sumner, IV and E. Brandon Gaskins of Moore & Van Allen, PLLC, of Charleston, for Appellant. Taylor Anthony Peace and Jeffrey L.

Brust (the Estate) appeals the circuit court's grant of summary judgment in favor of First South Bank (First South) as well as the court's denial of the Estate's motion to amend its answer and counterclaim. The Estate argues the court erred in (1) granting summary judgment because it ignored questions of fact regarding the scope of authority granted under a power of attorney, Brust's knowledge of the guaranty's scope, the effect of subsequent loan modifications, and Brust's proposed counterclaims asserted against First South; and (2) denying the motion to amend because it incorrectly relied upon the doctrine of res judicata rather than deciding the motion under Rule 15, SCRCP. |

Paul S. Cohen, M.D. and Susan Cohen, Respondents,
v.
E.D., R.D., and Y.D., The Living Issue of Abbie Ilene Dorn, and the South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, Respondents below,
Of whom E.D., R.D., and Y.D., The Living Issue of Abbie Ilene Dorn are the Appellants,
and
the South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services is a Respondent.
In Re: The Abbie Dorn Special Needs Trust. John A. Massalon and Christy Ford Allen, both of Wills Massalon & Allen LLC; and Daniel Scott Slotchiver, of Slotchiver & Slotchiver, LLP; all of Charleston, for Appellants E. D., R. D., Y.

John Kachmarsky, of Law Office of John Kachmarsky, of Charleston; Virginia Lee Moore, of Moore Johnson & Saraniti Law Firm, PA, of Surfside Beach; Bret Harlan Davis and Reese Rodman Boyd, III, both of Davis & Boyd, LLC, of Myrtle Beach; and Lynette Rogers Hedgepath, of The Hedgepath Law Firm, PA, of Conway, for Respondents Paul S. Cohen, M.D. and Susan Cohen. Shealy Boland Reibold, of Columbia, for Respondent SC Department of Health and Human Services. Daniel Dorn (Dorn) appeals the circuit court's order dismissing, as interlocutory, his appeal of a probate court order adding a party defendant after the conclusion of Dorn's case-in-chief. Dorn contends the probate court's order adding Abbie Ilene Dorn as a party to his action to remove Paul S. Cohen, M.D. and Susan Cohen as the co-conservators and co-trustees of the Abbie Dorn Special Needs Trust was not interlocutory because it unduly prejudiced Dorn's substantial right to name his own defendants and control the presentation of evidence at trial within the parameters of the South Carolina Rules of Civil Procedure. |
