Appellate Defender Elizabeth A. Franklin-Best, of Columbia, for Appellant.

J. Benjamin Aplin, of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Frank Anthony Culp appeals the circuit court's order revoking his probation and reinstating in full the original suspended sentences.  He argues the circuit court abused its discretion because a lesser sentence would have been suitable given the nature of his violation.  We affirm[1] pursuant to Rule 220(b)(1), SCACR, and the following authorities: State v. Lee, 350 S.C 125, 130, 564 S.E.2d 372, 375 (Ct. App. 2002) ("An issue must be raised to and ruled upon by the [circuit court] to be preserved for appellate review."); State v. Shumate, 276 S.C. 46, 46-47, 275 S.E.2d 288, 288 (1981) (holding not preserved for review an appellant's challenge of the circuit court's authority "to revoke in the manner prescribed [his] probationary sentence previously imposed and admittedly violated" where appellant did not "object to or seek modification of the revocation sentence in the [circuit] court"). 

AFFIRMED.

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

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