APPEAL DISMISSED

Daryl James Corbin, of Florence, for Appellant.

Martin S. Driggers, Jr, of Hartsville, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Appellant Ruth J. Person appeals the trial court's denial of her motion for a new trial pursuant to Rule 59(b), SCRCP, following a jury verdict for Respondent Carolina Pines Regional Medical Center.� After the jury verdict, Person's counsel indicated, upon inquiry by the trial court, that Person had no post-trial motions.� The next day, Person requested ten days to file a new trial motion.� Because Person's request for ten days to file the motion was not timely, we dismiss[1] the appeal pursuant to Rule 220(b), SCACR, and the following authorities:� Rule 59(b), SCRCP ("The motion for a new trial shall be made promptly after the jury is discharged, or in the discretion of the court not later than 10 days thereafter."); Boone v. Goodwin, 314 S.C. 374, 376, 444 S.E.2d 524, 525 (1994) ("[A] party must make a motion for a new trial promptly after the jury is discharged or request ten days within which to make the motion.").�

APPEAL DISMISSED.

WILLIAMS, PIEPER, and KONDUROS, JJ., concur.

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