v.

The International Club Homeowners Association, Inc., Rosemary Toth, Henrietta Golding, and K.A. Diehl & Associates, Respondents.

Appeal From Horry County
Benjamin H. Culbertson, Circuit Court Judge

Unpublished Opinion No. 2011-UP-233
Submitted May 1, 2011 � Filed May 19, 2011

AFFIRMED

Ronald Jarmuth, pro se, of Murrells Inlet, for Appellant.

Robert E. Stepp, of Columbia and Henrietta U. Golding of Myrtle Beach, for Respondents.

PER CURIAM:� Ronald Jarmuth appeals a trial court's dismissal of his action against Henrietta Golding arising out of her representation of Rosemary Toth and The International Club Homeowners Association, Inc. (the Association) for failure to state a claim under Rule 12(b)(6), SCRCP.� Specifically, he contends the trial court erred in holding Golding's conduct fell within attorney immunity. �He also maintains the trial court erred in considering matters not properly introduced by the parties.� Among those matters were portions of legal authorities not specifically raised during the dismissal hearing, allegations that Golding owed an independent duty to Jarmuth, and the motion to dismiss and a memorandum in support of that motion.� Even if those matters were properly before the trial court, Jarmuth asserts they transformed the dismissal hearing into a summary judgment hearing.� Lastly, he argues the trial court erred in issuing an order that dismissed his actions against Toth, the Association, and K.A. Diehl & Associates (Diehl).� We affirm[1] pursuant to Rule 220(b)(2), SCACR ("The Court of Appeals need not address a point which is manifestly without merit.").

AFFIRMED.

FEW, C.J., PIEPER and LOCKEMY, JJ., concur.

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