Wilke, 330 S.C. 71, 76, 497 S.E.2d 731, 733 (1998) ("It is axiomatic that an issue cannot be raised for the first time on appeal, but must have been raised to and ruled upon by the trial [court] to be preserved for appellate review."); Elam v. S.C. Dep't of Transp., 361 S.C. 9, 24, 602 S.E.2d 772, 780 (2004) (holding when the trial court fails to rule on an issue properly before it, a party must file a Rule 59(e), SCRCP, motion to preserve the issue for appellate review).1

AFFIRMED.2

HUFF, SHORT, and KONDUROS, JJ., concur.

1 We also find Appellants' argument fails on the merits. See Rydde v. Morris, 381 S.C. 643, 646, 675 S.E.2d 431, 433 (2009) ("On appeal from the dismissal of a case pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6),[ SCRCP,] an appellate court applies the same standard of review as the trial court."); id. ("That standard requires the [c]ourt to construe the complaint in a light most favorable to the nonmovant and determine if the facts alleged and the inferences reasonably deducible from the pleadings would entitle the plaintiff to relief on any theory of the case." (internal quotation marks omitted)); Matrix Fin. Servs. Corp. v. Frazer, 394 S.C. 134, 140, 714 S.E.2d 532, 535 (2011) ("[A] lender may not enjoy the benefit of equitable remedies when that lender failed to have attorney supervision during the loan process as required by our law."); id. ("We apply this ruling to all filing dates after the issuance of this opinion."). 2 We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
