This case involves the South Carolina Constitution's requirement that there be a system of free public schools that affords each student the opportunity to receive a minimally adequate education. Plaintiffs sued the State of South Carolina and various public officials claiming that an analysis of the State education system demonstrated that students in the districts were not being afforded the opportunity to receive a minimally adequate education. The trial court held that without early childhood intervention programs designed to counter the effects of poverty in these districts, some students who entered the public school system in these districts were not being afforded the opportunity to receive a minimally adequate education. Plaintiffs appealed and Defendants filed a cross-appeal.

Michael W. Mogil, of Hilton Head Island, for Appellant. Curtis Lee Coltrane, of Alford, Wilkins and Coltrane, of Hilton Head Island, for Respondent.

The Savannah Bank, Respondent, seeks to foreclose on a property owned by Alphonse Stalliard, Appellant. Stalliard filed a motion to enlarge to seek additional time to examine the evidence during the discovery stage before trial when parties exchange evidence and interview witnesses. The master-in-equity denied the motion and ruled in favor of Bank in a summary judgment, effectively ending the case before it went to trial. Stalliard now appeals arguing that the summary judgment was improper and that the trial court should have permitted additional discovery time.

This Court granted a petition for a writ of certiorari to review the decision of the Court of Appeals in State v. Kromah, Op. No. 2009-UP-322 (S.C. Ct. App. filed June 15, 2009), in which Petitioner's convictions and sentences for unlawful neglect of a child and the infliction of great bodily injury upon a child were affirmed. Petitioner argues the trial court erred in allowing the State's witnesses to testify as to the actions they took as a result of alleged hearsay statements made by the three-year-old victim, who would have been incompetent to testify at trial, and that the error was not harmless beyond a reasonable doubt.
