Chief Attorney Joseph L. Savitz, III, South Carolina Commission on Indigent Defense, of Columbia, for Appellant.

John Benjamin Aplin, S.C. Dept. of Probation Parole & Pardon, of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Adam Holliday appeals from the revocation of his probation, arguing the circuit court erred by allowing a non-lawyer to present the State’s case for revoking his probation. We affirm[1] pursuant to Rule 220(b), SCACR, and the following authorities:  State v. Barlow, 372 S.C. 534, 539, 643 S.E.2d 682, 685 (2007) (holding that a probation agent’s presentation of the State’s case in a revocation proceeding does not constitute the unauthorized practice of law);  State v. Hamilton, 333 S.C. 642, 648, 511 S.E.2d 94, 96 (Ct. App. 1999) (explaining that an issue must be raised to and ruled upon by the revocation judge to be preserved for appellate review).

AFFIRMED.

HUFF, KITTREDGE, and WILLIAMS, JJ., concur.

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