Unpublished Opinion No. 2003-UP-565
Submitted July 15, 2003 – Filed September 30, 2003

AFFIRMED

Mr. Gerald Lancaster, Sr., of Columbia, Pro Se, for Appellant.

Ms. Lovern Benn, of Columbia, Pro Se, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Gerald Lancaster, Sr. (Father) appeals pro se from the family court’s denial of his motion to restore his 1995 action against Lovern Benn.  We affirm ^[1] pursuant to Rule 220, SCACR, and the following authorities: Humbert v. State, 345 S.C. 332, 548 S.E.2d 862 (2001) (stating that issues not raised to and ruled upon by the lower court are not preserved for review); Glasscock, Inc. v. U.S. Fidelity and Guar. Co., 348 S.C. 76, 81, 557 S.E.2d 689, 691 (Ct. App. 2001) (“South Carolina law clearly states that short, conclusory statements made without supporting authority are deemed abandoned on appeal and therefore not presented for review.”); Rule 208(b)(1)(B), SCACR  (“Ordinarily, no point will be considered which is not set forth in the statement of issues on appeal.”).

AFFIRMED.

HEARN, C.J., CONNOR and ANDERSON, J.J., concur.
