PER CURIAM: Howard Peterson appeals the dismissal of his appeal from the Administrative Law Court (ALC).  Peterson argues the ALC erred in dismissing his appeal based on his failure to raise any sufficient grounds for appeal.  We affirm[1] pursuant to Rule 220(b)(1), SCACR, and the following authorities: ALC Rule 59(B) (requiring notice of appeal to contain "a brief factual basis for each expressly and specifically asserted constitutional violation"); ALC Rule 62 ("[The ALC] may dismiss an appeal . . . for the failure to provide a factual basis for each expressly and specifically asserted constitutional violation as prescribed by Rule 59(B).").   

AFFIRMED.
