Appellate Defender Elizabeth A. Franklin-Best, of Columbia, for Appellant.

J. Benjamin Aplin, of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Gary Joseph Gilbert appeals the circuit court's decision to revoke his participation in the community supervision program (CSP) and impose a sentence of one year imprisonment for violating his CSP. Gilbert argues the circuit court abused its discretion, violated Gilbert's right to due process of law, and violated Gilbert's right to be free from discrimination under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 § 201 to 205, 42 U.S.C. § 12131 to 12213 (2005).  We affirm[1] pursuant to Rule 220(b)(1), SCACR, and the following authorities: 

1.  As to whether the circuit court violated Gilbert's right to due process and right to be free from discrimination under the ADA:  State v. Dunbar, 356 S.C. 138, 142, 587 S.E.2d 691, 693-94 (2003) ("In order for an issue to be preserved for appellate review, it must have been raised to and ruled upon by the trial judge.  Issues not raised and ruled upon in the trial court will not be considered on appeal.").         

2.  As to whether the circuit court abused its discretion in revoking Gilbert's CSP for one year:  State v. Allen, 370 S.C. 88, 94, 634 S.E.2d 653, 655 (2006) (noting the decision to revoke probation is within the discretion of the trial court); State v. Crouch, 355 S.C. 355, 359, 585 S.E.2d 288, 291 (2003) (finding an appellate court will only reverse the decision to revoke probation when the decision is based on an error of law or lacks supporting evidence); State v. Dawkins, 352 S.C. 162, 167, 573 S.E.2d 783, 785 (2002) ("The CSP is a more stringent, closely monitored form of supervision than normal probation.").

AFFIRMED.

HUFF, SHORT, and WILLIAMS, JJ., concur.
