AFFIRMED

Carlton Cantrell, pro se, for Appellant.

James M. Holly, of Aiken, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Carlton E. Cantrell appeals the trial court's order granting summary judgment in favor of Magistrate Judge Charles T. Carter.  The trial court found Carter's complaint contained no allegation whatsoever concerning Carter, and even if it did, Carter was acting in his official capacity and therefore immune from liability.  We affirm[1] pursuant to Rule 220(b)(1), SCACR, and the following authority: State v. Howard, 384 S.C. 212, 217, 682 S.E.2d 42, 45 (Ct. App. 2009) ("An issue is deemed abandoned and will not be considered on appeal if the argument is raised in a brief but not supported by authority.").

AFFIRMED.

HUFF, KONDUROS, and LOCKEMY, JJ., concur.

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