THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA
In The Court of Appeals

Terra McAbee,        Appellant,

v.

Bi-Lo, LLC, Formerly Operating as Bi-Lo, Inc.,        Respondent.

Appeal From Spartanburg County
Donald W. Beatty, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2004-UP-123
Submitted December 23, 2003 � Filed February 25, 2004

AFFIRMED

Brendan M. Delaney, of Spartanburg, for Appellant.

Larence M. Hunter, Jr., of Greenville, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Terra McAbee�s complaint alleged that she slipped and fell on a spill of grease in a store operated by Bi-Lo, LLC, because Bi-Lo was negligent in failing to maintain its premises in a reasonably safe condition.� The trial court directed a verdict in favor of Bi-Lo at the end of all the evidence.� McAbee appeals, challenging that action.� We affirm pursuant to Rule 220(b)(2), SCACR, because the point raised by McAbee is manifestly without merit.� See Wintersteen v. Food Lion, 344 S.C. 32, 39, 542 S.E.2d 728, 731-32 (2001) (wherein the supreme court expressly declined to depart from the traditional foreign substance analysis and held that �a storekeeper is only liable if it places the substance on the floor or if it has actual or constructive notice� of the substance).��

AFFIRMED.

GOOLSBY, HOWARD, and KITTREDGE, JJ., concur.
