AFFIRMED

Tuong Thien Quang, of Mount Pleasant; for Appellant, pro se.

Nguyet Phan, of Charleston; for Respondent, pro se.

PER CURIAM: Nguyet Pahn filed suit in magistrate’s court for money due on a note against Tong Thien Quang.  The magistrate held in favor of Phan for an amount of $6,255.00, finding that Quang had repaid a portion of the note.  Quang appealed the judgment to circuit court arguing that the amount he already paid was $5,000 and that the amount due under the note was only $3,000.  The circuit judge affirmed the magistrate.  Quang appealed, and we affirm [1] pursuant to Rule 220, SCACR, and the following authorities:  Hadfield v. Gilchrist, 343 S.C. 88, 538 S.E.2d 268 (Ct. App. 2000) (stating that on review of a circuit court’s affirmance of a magistrate’s judgment, the Court of Appeals will affirm, absent an error of law, if there are any facts supporting the circuit court’s order); Vacation Time of Hilton Head Island v. Kiwi Corp., 280 S.C. 232, 312 S.E.2d 20 (Ct. App. 1984) (noting that the Court of Appeals is without jurisdiction to reverse findings of fact of the circuit court on review from the magistrate’s court if there is any supporting evidence).

AFFIRMED.

HEARN, C.J., CONNOR and ANDERSON, JJ., concur.

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