PER CURIAM:� Eddie Lee Ford appeals his probation revocation, arguing the trial court erred in revoking his probation because his violation was not found to be willful.� We affirm[1] pursuant to Rule 220(b), SCACR, and the following authority:� State v. Hamilton, 333 S.C. 642, 647, 511 S.E.2d 94, 96 (Ct. App. 1999) (holding an appellate court's authority to review a probation revocation is confined to correcting errors of law unless the lack of a legal or evidentiary basis indicates the circuit judge's decision was arbitrary and capricious); Id. at 649, 511 S.E.2d at 97 ("It is only when probation is revoked solely for failure to pay fines or restitution that a finding of willfulness is mandatory."). ����

AFFIRMED.
