AFFIRMED
Henry Thad White, Jr., of Florence, for Appellants.
J. Boone Aiken, III, of Florence, for Respondent.
PER CURIAM: David and Renee Poston brought suit against Dr. Tod Brown alleging medical malpractice. The Postons appeal from the trial judges orders, alleging (1) the judge erred in admitting the testimony of Nurse Patrick Taylor and (2) the judge erred in excluding two expert witnesses from testifying at trial. We affirm[1] pursuant to Rule 220(b)(2), SCACR, and the following authorities: Menne v. Keowee Key Prop. Owners Assn, Inc., 368 S.C. 557, 568, 629 S.E.2d 690, 696 (Ct. App. 2006) (finding the admissibility of evidence is within the sound discretion of the trial court and, on appeal, will not be reversed absent an abuse of discretion or the commission of legal error prejudicing the defendant); Fields v. Regl Med. Ctr. Orangeburg, 363 S.C. 19, 26, 609 S.E.2d 506, 509 (2005) (To warrant reversal based on the admission or exclusion of evidence, the appellant must prove both the error of the ruling and the resulting prejudice, i.e., that there is a reasonable probability the jurys verdict was influenced by the challenged evidence or the lack thereof.).
AFFIRMED.
HEARN, C.J., GOOLSBY and STILWELL, JJ., concur.
[1] Because oral argument would not aid the court in resolving the issues on appeal, we decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
