App. 1988) (ruling trial court did not violate appellant�s due process rights by not allowing oral argument on the motion to reconsider summary judgment where appellant was allowed to submit written materials and oral argument was previously allowed);

Judicial estoppel: First Sav. Bank v. McLean, 314 S.C. 361, 363, 444 S.E.2d 513, 514 (1994) (deeming an issue abandoned because the appellant failed to "provide arguments or supporting authority for his assertion"); Ellie, Inc. v.

Short, 323 S.C. 522, 476 S.E.2d 475 (1996) (stating where a decision is based on more than one ground, the appellate court will affirm unless the appellant appeals all grounds because the unappealed ground will become the law of the case); First Union Nat'l Bank of S.C. v. Soden, 333 S.C. 554, 566, 511 S.E.2d 372, 378 (Ct. App. 1998) (holding an "unchallenged ruling, right or wrong, is the law of the case and requires affirmance");

Remaining issues:� Whiteside v. Cherokee County Sch. Dist. No. One, 311 S.C. 335, 340-41, 428 S.E.2d 886, 889 (1993) (holding that remaining issues need not be addressed when the resolution of a prior issue is dispositive).��
