PER CURIAM:  Derrick Criswell appeals his conviction for distribution of cocaine base, second offense.  Criswell argues the trial court improperly enhanced his conviction to a second offense using a previous conviction for possession of crack cocaine from 1996.  We affirm[1] pursuant to Rule 220(b)(1), SCACR, and the following authorities: State v.

Lopez, 352 S.C. 373, 378, 574 S.E.2d 210, 213 (Ct. App. 2002) (holding an issue must be raised to and ruled upon by the trial court in order to be considered on appeal). 

AFFIRMED.

SHORT, WILLIAMS, and GEATHERS, JJ., concur.


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