    THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA
    In The Court of Appeals

    Bhaveshkumar R. Patel, Respondent,

    v.

    Nayana D. Patel, Appellant.


    Appeal From Dorchester County
    Nancy Chapman McLin, Family Court Judge


    Unpublished Opinion No. 2010-UP-530
    Submitted December 1, 2010 – Filed December 13, 2010   


    AFFIRMED


    Glenn Walters and R. Bentz Kirby, both of Orangeburg, for Appellant.

    Jan L. Warner and Matthew E. Steinmetz, both of Columbia, for Respondent.

    PER CURIAM:  In this domestic action, Nayana D. Patel appeals the family court's final order and decree of divorce, arguing (1) the order was not a final order because it did not resolve all the issues in the case, particularly issues of Hindu law relating to the rights of the parties and the division of marital property, and (2) the family court should have stayed the action until such time as the Hindu courts finalized issues related to Hindu law.  As to both issues, we affirm[1] pursuant to Rule 220(b)(1), SCACR, and the following authority: Doe v. Doe, 370 S.C. 206, 212, 634 S.E.2d 51, 54 (Ct. App. 2006) ("To preserve an issue for appellate review, the issue cannot be raised for the first time on appeal, but must have been raised to and ruled upon by the trial court."); Id. at 212, 634 S.E.2d at 54-55 ("Therefore, when an appellant neither raises an issue at trial nor through a Rule 59(e), SCRCP, motion, the issue is not preserved for appellate review.").

    AFFIRMED.

    THOMAS, PIEPER, AND GEATHERS, JJ., concur.


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