Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, Assistant Attorney General Deborah R.J. Shupe, all

of Columbia; Solicitor Kevin S. Brackett, of York, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Keremme Marquese Moffat appeals his conviction for purchasing marijuana, arguing the trial court erred: (1) in admitting evidence obtained in a search of the alleged seller's residence, and (2) in denying his motion for summary judgment.  We affirm[1] pursuant to Rule 220(b), SCACR, and the following authority: State v. Smith, 337 S.C. 27, 34, 522 S.E.2d 598, 601 (1999) (stating where a defendant did not object at trial on the same grounds as raised on appeal, the issue is not preserved for review); State v. Osborne, 335 S.C. 172, 180, 516 S.E.2d 201, 205 (1999) ("[T]he corroboration rule is satisfied if the State provides sufficient independent evidence which serves to corroborate the defendant's extra-judicial statements and, together with such statements, permits a reasonable belief that the crime occurred.").

AFFIRMED.

HUFF, WILLIAMS, and KONDUROS, JJ., concur.
