Appellate Case No. 2014-000140
Appeal From Richland County
Joseph M. Strickland, Master-in-Equity
Unpublished Opinion No. 2015-UP-444
Submitted August 1, 2015 – Filed August 26, 2015
AFFIRMED
Willie Zimmerman, pro se, of Irmo.
Erica Greer Lybrand and Jason David Wyman, both of
Rogers Townsend & Thomas, PC, of Columbia, for
Respondent.
PER CURIAM: Willie Zimmerman appeals the master-in-equity's order vacating
a foreclosure sale. On appeal, Zimmerman argues the master erred in vacating the
sale because (1) Zimmerman did not contribute to Bank of America's mistake and
(2) the sale did not involve an inadequate price so gross as to shock the conscience
or other circumstances warranting interference by the court. We affirm pursuant to
Rule 220(b), SCACR, and the following authorities:
As to Issue 1: Shirley's Iron Works, Inc. v. City of Union, 403 S.C. 560, 573, 743
S.E.2d 778, 785 (2013) ("An unappealed ruling is the law of the case and requires
affirmance.").
As to Issue 2: Wilder Corp. v. Wilke, 330 S.C. 71, 76, 497 S.E.2d 731, 733 (1998)
("It is axiomatic that an issue . . . must have been raised to and ruled upon by the
[circuit court] to be preserved for appellate review.").
AFFIRMED.1
SHORT, KONDUROS, and MCDONALD, JJ., concur.

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